Skull Tales

Players take on the roles of pirate characters exploring the Caribbean, visiting modular island boards and sailing between locations to pursue treasure and prestige. The game combines scenario-based mystery solving, combat against fantastic creatures, and secondary missions that grant prestige points toward becoming the ship’s Master. Actions are resolved with dice and cards for movement, sailing and fighting; each character has distinct abilities to tackle challenges on islands or at sea. Play is cooperative in the short term as the crew must survive encounters and complete objectives, while players also compete for prestige to claim leadership.
