Description

The theme and great artwork is key to the experience of DMTNT so if pirates aren’t a theme that excites you, then it may be best to look for an alternative co-operative game. The absolute randomness of everything in the game (from set up, token draws, tile draws, dice rolls for combat, etc. For that reason, games often go in and out of print and can disappear sometimes for years at a time.

Libertalia looks like something my 10 year old can pick up but this game looks like it would be an ideal fit. Players roll a dice and add their battle strength to the result to determine the result of the fight. Increase Your Battle Strength- Pirates can increase their combat strength by one point for each action token spent on this action. This old sea dog is almost cockroach-like and not even a room explosion will finish him off – he is already dead, after all. The vast number of crises to keep under control can feel overwhelming, but the methods of doing so are easy to understand, making it a friendly experience for new players.Dead Men Tell No Tales takes you to the high seas where you must survive on a burning pirate ship long enough to collect a certain amount of treasure. To solve for this, there are two blue pips printed on either side of the door to help identify, but even they can get lost in the busy artwork. It has some solid mechanics, excellent production quality, and is overall an entertaining cooperative board game.

Overwhelmed- When a new Deckhand needs to be added to the board but there aren’t any remaining in the supply, the Pirates are overwhelmed by the Skelit’s crew and are defeated.It’s a simple addition, but improves the experience of the game by giving players greater flexibility on how they want to plan their turns as a group. Do you feel this to be an accurate age rating or is that swayed by the fact that it is coop and someone can provide input? It’s interesting to test different room combinations/play as all the characters/sample the full complement of item cards, and it will take multiple playthroughs to exhaust all possibilities.

The game keeps you on the edge of your seats as your scour the burning ship, escape skeletal pirates, and escape with booty. With Dead Men Tell No Tales, if I didn’t share my my small complaints on the components, I really wouldn’t have any negatives to highlight to balance out our review. But in 2019, the founder of Minion Games, James Mathe, passed away, and Minion Games fell into probate. Fight Fires- The active Pirate reduces the value of the fire die in their room by one point for each action point spent on this action.

If a player chooses not to use all of his or her action points, they are transferred to the next player. We did find that we overlooked a few of the small rules from time to time when we first added the expansion as there was a lot to remember, but this wasn’t a huge game changer and as it’s a co-op game it doesn’t affect the balance too much. After dodging all manner of flame and flintlock, players will have to do it again to escape with the valuable treasure they’ve looted. Since the Kraken’s powerful tentacles can easily devastate the players’ crew, it’s only natural they get a few additional tools fight back. Dead Men comes with cardboard room tiles, wooden pirate figures, wooden deckhand skulls, individual player boards, lots of other tokens and cards, and a few dozen dice.

There are also bony-buccaneer guards waiting ominously, who will give up bonus cutlasses and rejuvenating rum – only if you’re beefcake enough to beat them. In Dead Men Tell No Tales players take on the role of pirates ransacking the Skelit’s Revenge while it’s consumed by flames. They might also lose if a tile can't be placed, too many treasures are lost, too many pirates are killed over the course of the game, or a pirate is killed after all the treasure has been looted. On their turn, players can spend an action token to swap the item in their possession with one of the face-up cards in the supply. However, if you are someone who enjoys a lot randomness in a game, this is probably a good choice for you.If you want to read more about one of the most hotly anticipated games of the year, check out our interview with Cole Wehrle on ARCS! This review came from Tabletop Gaming Magazine, which is home to all of the latest and greatest tabletop goodness. Dead Men Tell No Tales ended up being a fun cooperative board game that’s already made it to our tabletop a few times. The Kraken is one of those expansions that once you start playing with it, you won’t want to play the base game without it!
