Goblins, Guns and Grog!

In Goblins, Guns and Grog!, you take on the role of a group of five goblin pirates who, after being marooned by treacherous crewmates, must improvise a raft and navigate the dangerous Goblund Gauntlet. The main goal is simple: get home safe and sound. But, as good goblin pirates, true glory lies in accumulating a pile of treasure along the way! This is a solo roll-and-write game where each turn begins with a dice roll. The results can be used to 'Scavenge' (add items to inventory), 'Attack' (if you have cannons), 'Loot' (after a successful attack), 'Move' (advance along the map), or 'Adventure' (if you land on a special spot). But beware, each turn requires you to eat, and if your food runs out, it's game over! Reaching the end of the track is considered a victory, but true scoring comes from looting the many ships you encounter. For this, you need cannons to attack and chests to store the loot. The catch? Your initial raft is tiny, barely fitting two cannons! You can expand your vessel by adding Tetris-like pieces to the hull, slowly transforming it into a formidable warship. However, focusing on lumber, cannons, and chests means passing up opportunities to acquire food. The decision is yours: return home safely with a full belly, or risk it all for the siren call of gold? Get ready for a pirate adventure full of risky decisions!
