Waves crash onto the deck, lightning strikes the night, and the legend of the Skull Queen resonates throughout every crew. In Skull Queen, you don't simply play cards: you prophesy your hand before it begins, deciding which tricks to win and which to avoid like curses.
Then comes the moment of truth: you draw breath, unsheathe your hand, and move your Pirates onto the Destiny Board. Each space is an oath: "I will win 0," "I will take 2," "I will lose the right suit." And when your hand is revealed, the ocean decides whether you are a prophet... or just a would-be castaway.
It's fast-paced but sharp trick-taking , with that pirate poker tension where the wrong move weighs like a wave on the bow and the right move makes you cry out for treasure.
