Madman’s Diary’s entry, 25th of October 2026–

‘’To calm my nerves after that encounter at sea, I uncurled my trembling fingers and uncorked a bottle of cask strength whisky, the fiery elixir that anglers call ‘the water of life.’

It is said the spirit is aged in barrels made from brine-soaked, ocean driftwood, giving the liquor its warm, timbered taste. But as I took a heavy gulp, praying for warmth, the fiery spirit hit my stomach like liquid lead. The taste was vile, rank with decay… and a question dawned upon me. What if the driftwood had gone bad in the deep? What if the foulness of the depths had seeped into the cask, poisoning the drink?

A deadening numbness crept through my limbs. My blood ran cold, my tongue grew heavy, and my muscles stiffened as though rigor mortis had taken hold of my living body. I looked down at my pale, petrified hands, mortified by the sickening realisation: this was no water of life. It was a deadly liquid, numbing my flesh for the grave, and the sea was to be my burial ground.’’

My wife wanted to pickup this game based purely on the theme and box art so we did! Deep Regrets from @tettixgames is a fishing game. But you fish up horrors from the deep sea and slowly go mad. This is not necessarily bad, but madness level gives you bonuses or penalties to how much fish sell for and how many action dice you can have and thus actions. And then there’s the regret. Life’s full of regrets and whoever ends the game with the most regret loses a trophy catch and probably won’t win so managing your regret and madness is key.

It’s got a fair amount of randomness in the piles of fish all randomly shuffled and the dice rolling mitigated fairly well but plentiful dink cards, rods, reels and supply cards that help you with this. It can still feel random though when someone keeps getting good fish and you only fish up feet, hands and body parts. Still. It’s lighthearted game with a good dose of fun and humor so it’s not too big of a deal. You can play pretty fast. There’s also a tempo to whether you go to port or stay out at sea that adds a bit to the strategy. Overall a keeper for now as a lighter game that is just kinda fun. Reminds me a lot of Deep Sea Endevour. #2a1b

‘’The deal was struck, and the dark cellar dissolved beneath me. I awoke back at sea, sprawled on the timbered deck of my fishing boat, the cold air burning my chest.

Breaching the calm surface beside was what my salt-crusted eyes first took to be a floating island… a living Aspidochelone. Its colossal, ancient shell was submerged just beneath the waves, overgrown with a dense, luxuriant forest canopy swaying gently in the ocean breeze.

As I leaned over the gunwale to take a closer look, a chill warning echoed through the sea breeze: do not feed them. These plants do not seek sunlight or salt water, for they thrive on living flesh… The sea entity uses its luxuriant garden as bait to draw stranded, desperate anglers close.’’

Keep your bait in the bucket, and whatever you do… don’t feed the plants.

HELP IS BUT A TRANSACTION AWAY

Day 23 of #boardtober2026, hosted by @getintogames

While out at sea in Deep Regrets, things get strange very quickly. The deeper you fish, the fouler the things you can reel in, and the more your madness creeps in. 🎣

Thankfully, relief is just a short trip back to port.

Sell your catch, buy new equipment, supplies (and dice) and carry on. But with every foul catch comes with regrets, and at the end of the game the player with the most has to throw away their most valuable mounted fish. Some help costs more than it looks.

⚙️ Medium-light complexity

‘Help is but a transaction away’ is today’s Boardtober prompt by @getintogames and I don’t know about anyone else, but I could really use some help with my own personal demons right about now 😅 so it felt appropriate to talk about this one today

I don’t say this lightly, it has all our favourite things:
Simultaneous turns ✅
Pick and pass drafting ✅
Puzzly gameplay ✅
Beautiful components ✅
Unique and compelling theme ✅

So, I guess it’ll come as no surprise that we LOVE IT

Besides the satisfying and seamless gameplay, these are some of the unique things we like about it…

The rulebook is easy to understand while also being a genuine joy to read due to the messaging around mental health and wellbeing

The leader card is something that’s needed in games like this, especially at a higher player count, so we appreciate the attention to detail

‘Hefty’ and ‘colossal’ demons that you can optionally summon once you’ve got enough of the right seals and which bring a really interesting twist to the puzzle

Your personal Fear card is a bit of a nuisance but it creates an extra layer of complexity and gives you something to focus on early doors

For us, the only things to consider are:
• The artwork is beautiful, but sometimes borderlines on genuinely disturbing 🫣 so may not be everyone’s taste
• Table space – the player boards are pretty big so you’re gonna want a decent sized area to play
• As in most pick and pass games, drafting what you need tends to be a bit easier with more players as you’re cycling through more cards

We’ve played at two, three, and five players so far which were all super enjoyable plays and whilst I haven’t tried the solo mode yet, it looks great!

The campaign recently ended but late pledges are still open – check it out @tettixgames

This is our pick for today’s #firstimpressionsfriday🎲 with @nerdygirlgaming

Madman’s Diary’s entry, 23rd of October 2026–

‘’My hand was still clenched tight around my broken pocket watch. As I regained consciousness, sprawled on the cold floor, I suddenly realised that the iron coffin was unchained… and wide open. Black, freezing seawater poured from its depths, the cellar swiftly drowning beneath an icy tide.

The brine filled my lungs. As I gasped for air, a silhouette detached itself from inside the casket… a Tidal Trafficker, in a heavy brass diving suit, tendrils writhing around its helmet. Some monsters wear iron and brass to keep us out, or to keep themselves in.

My head went completely under. The entity stood silent in the murky brine, its broken porthole staring back with cold indifference. Help isn’t a gift down here… it’s a trade. Every breath, every moment of life must be bought. I fumbled inside my soaked coat, my frozen fingers clutching on my leather wallet. I held it out into the dark water, releasing the last of my air in a silent plea for help.’’

Out here, in the cold depths of madness, no hand is extended out of pity. The deal was sealed… but I fear what it truly cost me.

‘’I must have fallen hard. When my senses finally returned, I was sprawled across the damp stone floor of the cellar, the taste of rust and copper in my mouth. I pulled my pocket watch from my coat to check what time it was, but its casing was dented and the glass completely shattered… the hands broken, motionless.

Was I out for hours? Or had it been days that I was lost to the dark?

The last thing I remember before collapsing was that relentless thud from inside the chained iron coffin. Time and time again it had rattled against my skull, growing louder and louder like a hideous pendulum beating inside my head, until my mind had simply snapped and surrounded to the dark.’’

Deep Regrets: trawling the briny deep! ⚓️🌊🐙

Always great to head out to sea and do a bit of solo fishing! I've now nearly finished my log of the denizens of the deep, both the fair and foul 🤩

I had so much fun tableing at @ootbdrillhall for @tagsfestival and meeting so many awesome artists! Thanks again to @comicsyouthscio for collaborating with me and giving me this opportunity

I was more responsible with my money and only got a few things, however I was so tempted to buy everything! Every stall was so incredible 🌟

The venue itself was beautiful and I got to learn more about risograph printing - genuinely one of my favourite art mediums

And thanks to everyone who bought my zines and stickers :)

Hey, Grammers! Halloween is approaching, so what better time to embrace your questionable life choices with Deep Regrets and Even Deeper Regrets by @tettixgames ? 🎣

Deep Regrets is an incredibly weird, delightfully horrifying fishing game where the goal is simple: go fishing, catch some fish, and try not to regret what you pull out of the ocean.

You’ll roll bespoke tackle dice each turn to determine your strength. You’ll choose which fish to pursue by judging the shadows at different depths. The deeper you go, the bigger the potential reward, but also the greater the chance that you’ll uncover something you really wish you hadn’t.

Instead of simply avoiding the bad stuff, you sometimes want to embrace your growing insanity because it can actually make you more powerful.

But there’s a catch. At the end of the game, whoever has the highest value of Regrets has to discard their most valuable mounted fish.

That constant push and pull between is what makes Deep Regrets so much fun. You’re constantly managing resources, weighing risk against reward, and deciding just how much madness you’re willing to carry for a better haul.

The solo mode is also fantastic. You play as an ichthyologist trying to catch and catalog every fish in the sea across a campaign of dozens of games. It gives the game a completely different feel, turning your horrifying fishing expedition into an ongoing collection adventure.

And then there’s Even Deeper Regrets expansion which adds Inland fishing, giving you new locations having new fishes and mechanics, with even higher risk and reward

I love how Even Deeper Regrets expands the game without losing what made the original so special. There are simply more things to discover, more ways to push your luck, and more opportunities to make terrible decisions.

Deep Regrets is basically a cozy fishing game if your idea of cozy involves eldritch sea creatures, mounting questionable fish, and slowly losing your mind. And honestly, I regret nothing. 🎣
