Description
In Walk the Plank!, you're one of the worst pirates in a captain's crew, and it's time to prove your worth. The captain is willing to keep only two of you, so you'll need to fight amongst yourselves to stay on board. Each round, you'll secretly stack action cards, then take turns revealing and playing them. The catch is that your pirates will follow your planned actions, no matter what's happened since you made your plan. The game is simple to learn, but full of humor and unexpected twists. With simultaneous action selection and programmed movement, you'll need to think ahead and outmaneuver your opponents to keep your pirates on board. The game ends when only two or fewer pirates remain, and the owner of those pirates wins. But be careful, or you might end up with all pirates in the water, and no one wins except the sharks.
