Sail the high seas and dominate in Dead Reckoning

Theme and Gameplay

?‍☠️Take control of a ship and explore the ocean tiles while striving for control through area of influence mechanics, all while strengthening your crew (cards) by purchasing upgrades (powers) and managing your resources (barrels). You will be upgrading/crafting your 12 cards you start with, rather than buying new cards as you would in a deck builder. Your aim is to collect money through production, completion of goals, battle and control of various islands. The game ends when one player has placed 4 of their 6 achievement tokens out.

Who is this game for?

?‍☠️The game is for gamers who want a challenge to not only perfect their strategy and hand but also engage in an interactive game. There is a tug-of-war for control of islands, therefore, you have to ‘enjoy’ some confrontation.
