Kraken

Description

Kraken is a fast-paced pirate-themed fishing game in which each player secretly pursues a unique objective. A typical game lasts around 30 minutes and blends strategy, sabotage, and a pinch of luck. On your turn, you draw cards, play actions, roll dice to catch fish, and upgrade your gear using goldfish tokens. Each pirate has a unique ability that influences their playstyle and strategy, and the first player to fulfill their secret objective or to capture the legendary Kraken wins. The game features action cards, attribute cards, sabotage cards, and fish cards divided into different environments: lake, sea, river. Managing sabotage and maximizing bonus effects are key to success. Multiple tactics are viable: boosting your gear, slowing down your rivals, or outright stealing their resources. With its quick turns and unpredictable twists, Kraken creates a dynamic, high-energy experience full of spectacular comebacks and pirate mischief. —description from the publisher
