Deep Regrets

To set up the solo mode of Deep Regrets, start by locating and removing the specific fish and small fish cards indicated in the rulebook. Prepare the ocean board, fish banks, and ocean sounding board as usual, placing your marker on Monday. Shuffle remorse cards and place them in their designated spot, then set up your fisherman board with your dice and boat at depth one. Take the worm can and reference cards, and add any previously unlocked equipment if applicable.

In the solo mode, you act as an ichthyologist leading an expedition to capture and catalog deep-sea fish, upgrading your equipment over a series of days to maximize your scientific findings and overall score.

Solo play is divided into two phases per day: Refrescar (Refresh) and Sondeo (Sounding). In the refresh phase, advance the day marker, clear revealed fish, and roll fresh dice into the active reserve. In the sounding phase, capture fish using mechanics similar to the normal game, recording catch data on your sounding sheet until your dice run out.

Scoring happens at the end of the fifth day by revealing all remorse cards and summing their values. Discard fish that match or exceed this value, and record the remaining fish on your sounding sheet. Use these fish values to unlock new equipment for future games.

The game concludes at the end of the fifth day after all remorse cards are tallied and fish are processed. Any unspent fish values or unused equipment are lost, but successfully unlocked gear remains available for future playthroughs.
