In this cooperative legacy game, you and your friends (or just yourself, if you prefer!) will build a pirate empire from scratch. Forget the easy life, because being a pirate is only for the brave and the clever. You'll need to be sharp to smuggle goods, protect your hideout from rivals, and navigate through each chapter of this narrative campaign. The coolest part is that your choices REALLY matter! They will permanently change the story and even the game's components, like writing your own captain's log. And the best part: when the campaign ends, the game doesn't stop! You can keep having fun with your customized pirate legacy in random scenarios. Wildtails is an 18-card game, super compact (wallet game style), that fits in your pocket and transports you to the world of talking animal pirates. It uses an app to add a modern touch to the experience, but don't worry, it's pretty straightforward. The campaign requires a good amount of reading, so having your English skills ready or being willing to translate is key. If you enjoy games that evolve over time, have a strong narrative, and don't mind a little extra effort for assembly (it's PnP!), Wildtails might be your next great adventure. ## FAQ ### How many people can play Wildtails?
