THE GAME IS SEALED IN ORIGINAL PACKAGING AND HAS NOT BEEN OPENED
Board game contained in a card box printed in colours to show the title, maker's details and illustrations and photographs of the game being played.
Instructions are printed on the inside of the lid; box bottom is plain white card
Playing surface top is printed in colours to show colour coordinated paths along which the players move, obstacles to be met and safe areas - these are the surfaced positions; following the paths are cut out areas which allow the markers into the submerged positions. Below the top is a card disc printed in blues to represent water; disc is mounted on a yellow plastic stand. In the centre of the stand is the base of the control tower which passes through the brown plastic 'mountain' in the centre of the top and is capped by a yellow plastic knob; the knob ultimately turns the disc. The playing surface and disc is housed on a plain card base.
PLAYING PIECES
dice - one white marked 1 - 6; one black marked 1 - 3
8 gunboats, red plastic hulls on rings which fit into the cut away areas on the playing surface, blue plastic deck, yellow plastic gun
4 Nautilus (players' markers), in two parts - blue, red, yellow and green
