Dead Men Tell No Tales
Publisher: Minion Games
A cooperative boardgame of looting a burning ship for two to five players.
For years, you've been tracking Skelit's Revenge, the most notorious ship on the high seas, and now you've finally taken it. Your Captain has informed you that there are treasure chests hidden on board full of the most valuable treasure the world has ever seen. In spite of the raging inferno aboard the ship, your captain orders you and the rest of his crew to bring him every single one of those treasure chests or you'll be taking a long walk off a short plank. You and your crew will enter and search the Skelit's Revenge in an attempt to loot all of the treasure. But beware, there are still enemy pirates lurking, and some nasty guards looking to make sure you don't get out alive. Not to mention that you'll be doing this while the ship burns. You'll have to battle the flames, the guards, and your own fatigue.
Can you and your crew ensure that all of the treasure is recovered, and receive more riches and glory than you ever dreamed? Only time will tell…
Dead Men Tell No Tales (DMTNT) is a cooperative game where players take on the role of a pirate crew, boarding the doomed Skelit's Revenge for one purpose: to take the loot. You need to deal with the spreading fire and explosion potential, as well as the enemies left on the ship. But what's a little risk for the plunder!
Each round, you flip over a new tile to add to the ship, and you also flip a card to show where the Skeleton Crew advances. You may then take a number of actions and use shared equipment to deal with the fire, your own fatigue, the trapdoors and guards on the ship. In DMTNT, you can even pass some of your action tokens to the person to your left in case they need extra help this round. Simple-to-resolve combat feels engaging without taking more than a quick dieroll. You will be constantly gaining fatigue and you must manage your ability to keep going.
If you like such games as Pandemic, Forbidden Island/Desert, or Flash Point: Fire Rescue – you will love this game too.DMTNT is for two to five players of 13 and older, and plays in about 75 minutes.

Captain boss token. We will add a fun climactic boss character to include in the enemies bag. This will be an extra tough character for advanced players. He comes with a few tricks up his sleeve too. The Boss Token will be a double sided token. Throw him in the bag with the other tokens. If you draw him then flip him like a coin and place the face-up side in the room (along with another drawn token). One side is harder to kill than the other. He'll move like the Skeleton Crew, but when you kill him he goes back in the bag. So, he'll keep coming out and causing problems. You can't win if he's on the board either, so you have to deal with him. He is optional to play with.
Exclusive Character. Promo card included that you can use to replace any of the other characters. It will be female and have a unique ability.
Camille E.N. – her power is that she is able to copy the power of any in-play character (one per turn). Kinda like a chameleon.
