Jolly Roger: The Game of Piracy & Mutiny

$19.90

You are a crewmember on board a pirate ship and you have just elected your new captain. This man will lead you toward fortune or disaster… Luckily, if you don’t agree with his choices, you can always start a mutiny and become the next captain yourself!

Every turn, the Captain chooses a destination for the ship. When the ship attacks, players will (more or less!) cooperate to win, playing crew cards from their hands to win the battle and take the prize. Treasure gained is divided between all pirates, but your gold is never secure until you bury it at Treasure Island…

Unrest is always brewing – each time the Captain makes a choice, it is possible for one of the other players to call, “Mutiny” to try to overthrow him and become the new Captain. And when the mutiny begins, you’ll need to decide how to use your cards: how much will you cooperate, and what will you keep to yourself for the next mutiny?

Fast, rowdy, and easy to learn, Jolly Roger is equally fun for casual players and veterans of a thousand battles.

Sails of Glory Napoleonic Wars

In an age where the fleets of the French Emperor Napoleon I battled across the seas and the powerful Royal Navy of the British Empire clashed against the French from the Atlantic Ocean to the Mediterranean Sea, prepare your naval fleet for battle on an epic stage like no other in the Age of Sails!

In Sails of Glory, you will sail and fight with massive ships-of-the-line or swift frigates in dramatic naval battles, such as Trafalgar and the Battle of the Nile.

Designed to be used with the tactical ship-to ship game system created by Andrea Angiolino and Andrea Mainini, each Sails of Glory Ship Pack is a ready-to-play model, painted and assembled, 100% compatible with any other Sails of Glory game product. In each pack you will find all you need to play with the ship: a special base with gaming stats, a ship log and a specific deck of maneuver cards.

This is not a complete game. You must own a Sails of Glory Starter Set to play.

Guns of Galicia

$ 55.00

Goming Soon

Guns of Galicia (GoG) uses the same core rules as Guns of August (GoA) to simulate Corp-level fighting on the Eastern Front in WWI. Game mechanics compensate for players’ 20/20 hindsight to encourage historically accurate play that makes “sense” in game terms while avoiding a “straight jacket” of special rules to enforce irrational play. Players maneuver corps and divisions through 9-mile wide hexagons in turns that span three days each. Chit pull activation along with modest movement point allowances generates a highly interactive game. Scenarios included are the 1914 Galicia campaign, 1915 Tarnow campaign, and 1916 Brusilov campaign.

Upon a Salty Ocean $ 49.95 SRP

At the beginning of the 16th century, the city of Rouen is the main French port. The city’s wealth depends on fishing and the trading of salted fish. Salt produced in the mines has to be loaded onto ships and used to preserve herring and cod fished in the Atlantic Ocean. Every week ships full of salt barrels leave Rouen for the fishing grounds of the Atlantic Ocean, and once back, the goods are sold in the city markets. The players represent city merchants, and they invest in ships and city buildings to try to get rich. Who will be the richest merchant of Rouen, when Francis I, King of France, comes to visit the City? Contains: Game board and rulebook 32 salt (white), 24 herring (pink) and 24 cod (violet) wooden cubes 10 salt (white), 10 herring (pink) and 10 cod (violet) large wooden cubes (worth four small ones) 72 player markers (wooden cubes: 18 for each player color: blue, green, red, yellow) 4 coin markers (wooden disc) 7 market/action counters (black cubes) 3 ship tiles for each player color 10 event tiles 4 player sheets
