Keel-Hauled! is a dice game for 2 to 4 players. Although the game does contain some complexity, it is relatively simple to learn. Play time for a full game of 50 points is usually less than an hour.
Players are pirates who vie for the position of Captain on a pirate ship. To to this, players must roll their dice to assemble sets that first match the number on the "Crew Dice" which represent the Cabin Boy, Ship's Cook, and First Mate. This becomes more challenging as there are limited spaces on the boat for dice sets to be placed, and the first player can change throughout the game.
The game is normally continued until one player scores 30 to 50 points, when the player with the most points overall is dubbed the new Captain of the ship.
