About the game
What you do in a play session
Pirates, beware! The Kraken Tootone has risen from the depths to sink your ship, and only teamwork will save you from this hungry monster. In Kraken Attack!, 1-4 players band together to repair the ship, stab tentacles with sabers, and fire cannons—all while trying not to further anger the beast with silly faces (yep, there are 'make a face' cards that piss off the Kraken!). Each round, tentacles advance based on dice rolls, and if they get too close... BOOM, the ship gets a brand new hole. The key? Coordinating actions in the turn queue, playing the right cards, and praying the Kraken doesn't reach 'rage mode.' It's chaotic, hilarious, and perfect for fans of quick co-ops with a dash of luck. Oh, and there's a solo mode for when your crew's busy!
