## Description
Rum & Bones puts you and your crew on the decks of pirate ships, bringing the MOBA rush to the tabletop. For 2‑6 players, each takes control of a legendary hero with a unique set of powers that can swing the tide of battle. You may command up to five heroes at once, moving them across a grid board to assault key zones on opponents' vessels. The win condition is simple: destroy enough of the enemy's major resources so they can no longer defend. Meanwhile, your crew—deckhands and bosuns—act on a simple AI, sowing chaos and supporting your attacks. Collecting Davy Jones' mythical eight‑piece coins lets you unleash devastating abilities, turning your hero into a cannon‑blasting juggernaut. The game blends Action Points, Dice Rolling, Grid Movement, and Area Influence, all flavored by Variable Player Powers that give each participant a distinct playstyle. A typical game runs about an hour, and the learning curve is gentle: rules are straightforward, yet strategy deepens as you learn to combo heroes, manage crew AI, and spend coins for maximum damage. Perfect for fans of miniatures, tactical skirmishes, and that salty pirate atmosphere. If you enjoy fast‑paced, strategic games, Rum & Bones delivers a fun, accessible experience, though the need to translate the full rulebook may be a hurdle for non‑English speakers.
