Watch “Wreck Raiders Review, a strategic worker placement kids' board game that's also great for adults,” a board game review on BoardGameVideo.
Description provided by Tabletop Bellhop on YouTube:
Dive for sunken pirate treasure in this dice driven worker placement game that's designed to be fun for the entire family. Finally we are seeing kids games that are just as fun for adults.
CORRECTION: At one point we note you can't use a conche to roll a die from a 6 to a 1 or the other way around. That is incorrect. You can roll a 6 to a 1 and/or a 1 to a 6.

About Wreck Raiders, from BoardGameGeek:
Plunge into the glittering sea to recover exotic treasures from a seafloor overflowing with pirate shipwrecks. Send your divers to the deep, but be careful; moving too close to other divers lets them get in on the haul too! Gather lost loot and beached baubles to assemble museum exhibits and construct eye-popping aquariums... but don't forget to save the best bits for your personal collection!
Wreck Raiders is an innovative dice-drafting worker placement system. Choose a die from the pool, then send one of your divers to any spot on the board with that number. But be warned: the spot you choose will help any diver in the spots next to you, whether they're friendly or not. Will you risk letting a rival in on your haul to get that treasure you want, or can you find a way to grab yourself some extra loot?
Display your treasures to build museum exhibits, or send them to your vault for huge scoring opportunities... Don't forget to visit the beach nearby to gather washed-up baubles and spend them to build awesome aquariums. (All sea creatures are treated ethically and released into the wild; also, they are cardboard tiles.)
When the game ends, you'll earn coins for your exhibits, your vault, and your aquariums. The player with the most coins wins!
