About this game

What this game is, in the developer's words

Flee or hunt? It’s up to you! Under Pressure is an asymmetric card game! To win you will need to strategize and guess.

In the abyss, the Diver meets the Kraken! To survive he will have to reach the surface!

Each card represents a progression stage, from the abyss #0 to the surface #42.

Goals:

Diver wants to reach the surface, he starts from card #0 and can step up to 3 stages max per turn
Kraken wants to catch him by guessing all he's played cards. Kraken can guess up to 3 cards per turn.

Gameplay:

Diver can use boosts by sacrificing a card. It can extend step by +2 per sacrificed card! It can be used to play far cards or to trick Kraken!
Kraken can guess multiple cards each turn, but if one is wrong, guess is failed! It helps to catch Diver faster but might be risky!

Cards are distributed in three decks according to their value: 1-14, 15-28, 29-41.
Pick wisely and you may win the game!

Under Pressure is and adaptation of Tim Fowers's card game "Fugitive".
