Strap up your piratical boots, and navigate your ship through turbulent waters in Sail, a co-operative trick-taking game for two players. Reach the end of this dangerous deep end, and avoid taking damage from the Kraken to win the game together...or your crew will be sleeping with the fish!
Before each round begins, players exchange cards, then play a series of tricks. Different game actions will be triggered depending on who wins each trick in combination with the unique character skills. However, the crashing sea water and the roaring Kraken make for a deafening situation, and players are unable to communicate about tactics and card information from the moment cards are dealt to the end of the action phase.
Players win the game as a team if they sail their ship into the final token before the Kraken reaches the Death tile or the Kraken deck is exhausted.
Strategy
Sail is a logic-driven deduction game. But, your plans get a wrench thrown in because of the lack of communication! As you play, you’ll become better at understanding the way your partner wants to play. Passing cards, winning tricks in certain ways… try and read their mind to defeat the kraken!
Leverage your asymmetric pirate power to give your team the edge. You’ve got to use every tool you can!
