Mechanics (from transcript analysis)
- Clout Economy — Clout tokens influence end-game scoring and can be gained or stolen via expansion mechanics.
- Depth/Sea vs Inland — Players choose between sea and inland paths; expansion adds inland options and depth-based decisions.
- Dice Rolling — Players roll a pool of dice to perform actions and manage their dice across turns.
- Mounting / Wall Display — Caught fish can be mounted on a wall; mounted fish remain in play and contribute to scoring.
- Peek/Reveal — Worms/nightcrawlers let players peek at fish cards; reveal abilities can modify outcomes.
- Regret / Dinks / Madness — Regret tokens and dink actions influence scoring; madness affects dice and endgame bonuses.
- Shopping / Gear Upgrades in Port — Players can buy rods, reels, supplies, and dice to improve capabilities during port phases.
- Simultaneous Reveal — Worms/nightcrawlers let players peek at fish cards; reveal abilities can modify outcomes.

Quotes (from this video)
- Hey everybody, I'm Tom Vassal. Welcome to the most boring unboxings in the world as we open up stuff that comes into the Dice Tower and we see what it is.
- So, that is the one of these is the deluxe version for the hot games room in the Dice Tower library and the other one is for the library.
- All righty, folks. Well, there you go. There's even more stuff, but I had to put some in the library. I got some stuff from the Philippines. We'll show that stuff off in the future. But for now, that's the end of another boring unboxing. This time, really done by me and not Zee.
