Description

In 15 Men, a swashbuckling adventure awaits as 2 to 5 players take on the roles of pirates vying for control of a treasure-laden ship. Published in 2019 by designers Emanuele Briano and Alessandro Ciceri, this game is all about intrigue and strategy, with each player's role hidden from the others. The captain and his loyal crew must navigate the complex web of alliances and rivalries, using their unique abilities to outmaneuver their opponents and gain the upper hand. As the game unfolds over 45 to 60 minutes, players will engage in a thrilling mix of auctioning, bidding, and bluffing, all while trying to keep their true intentions hidden. With variable player powers and a dynamic setup, no two games will be the same. The team with the most victory points will ultimately claim the treasure and send their enemies to a watery grave, but getting there will require cunning, skill, and a little bit of luck. Easy to learn but challenging to master, 15 Men is a pirate-themed card game that's perfect for fans of social deduction and strategic gameplay.
