Yer all pirates, down to y’r very core…
Ye laugh together, drink together, fight yer foes together…
Merchants and Monsters alike fear yer mighty crew. Yer ship has ruled the open seas for more ‘n a decade.
And as captain, it’s up to you to load yer vessel with the shiniest gold, the deadliest cannons, the most despicable crew, and enough vittles and rum to keep ‘em from plotting a mutiny.
Game play:
From the designer of the medieval card game Of Knights and Ninjas comes There Once was a Ship, a 20 minute roll and write game for 1-6 skallywags.
Choose a group of dice (various colors represent gold, weapons, infamy, crew, and supplies).
Record yer scores on a simple half page print out.
Reroll yer dice, organizing them back into groups based on their number.
Will ye stash gold, stockpile weapons, or recruit an infamous crew?
After five short rounds, tally up yer score. Best out o’ three wins. If ye ave any pirate blood in ye, ye’ll play again. And again. And again!
Till every last fool is a feared of so much as whisperin yer name.
