About the game
What you do in a play session
Each round begins with a strategic card exchange between the pirates, followed by a series of tricks. The big twist is that the winner of each trick, combined with each character's unique abilities, will trigger different actions in the game. But don't think it will be easy: the deafening roar of the Kraken and the crashing waves make communication between you practically impossible. From the moment cards are dealt until the end of the action phase, forget about discussing tactics or what each of you holds. You'll have to rely on intuition and reading each other's plays.
The objective is simple yet challenging: guide your ship to the last token on the map. Victory is shared, but so is defeat. If the Kraken reaches its 'Death' mark or its deck runs out, it's game over for the pirate duo. Sail is an intense experience of cooperation and hand management, where every decision matters and the lack of communication raises tension to sky-high levels. Are you ready for this nautical adventure?
