Description

Davy Jones' Locker: Curse of the Ghost Ships is the latest expansion to the popular game Davy Jones' Locker: The Kraken Wakes, designed by Zachary Jacob and released in 2024. In this thrilling game, 1 to 5 players take on the challenge of breaking a curse that has been cast upon the seas. The story begins with the discovery of a mysterious island that has emerged from the fog, where a treasure chest filled with gold was found. However, it soon becomes apparent that the gold is cursed, and any ship that has even a single piece of it on board is haunted by the Banshee and her fleet of ghost ships. As players brave the haunted Phantom Island, they must explore and find spectral equipment to help them in their battle against the ghost ships. The game is divided into two acts, with the first act requiring players to find the cursed gold and return it to the chest to break the curse. However, time is of the essence, as the Banshee's curse grows stronger with each passing round. In the second act, players must navigate the treacherous waters, avoiding sea stacks and reefs, and use their spectral equipment to siphon the souls back from the Banshee and send her back to Davy Jones' Locker. With simple rules that can be explained quickly, this game is easy to pick up, but the gameplay is engaging and challenging, lasting between 60 to 180 minutes. The Curse of the Ghost Ships expansion brings all new enemies, equipment, crew members, and ways to defeat enemies, adding a fresh layer of complexity and excitement to the game. Players can enjoy the game solo or with friends, using a combination of action points, cooperative gameplay, dice rolling, and push your luck mechanics to overcome the challenges that lie ahead. With its horror and nautical themes, this game is perfect for fans of pirate-themed adventures and those who enjoy a good exploration game. So set sail for the high seas, gather your crew, and get ready to take on the Banshee and her ghost ships in Davy Jones' Locker: Curse of the Ghost Ships.
