Incredible Expeditions: Quest for Atlantis is a card game with deck-building strategy elements. It comes all in one box, ready to play. There are boards, but they're mostly an aid for individual players to keep track of things. Dice are sometimes used (for example, to determine which of your Crew gets snatched by a baby kraken) but overall, random chance isn't a big factor. Clever use of your Crew and Resources is the focus of the game. A winning strategy is one that can adapt on the fly. There are no victory points, either you reach Atlantis or the dangers of exploration prove to be too much.
