Product Details
🐸 HOW TO PLAY
The Assault on Skelit's Revenge
In Dead Men Tell No Tales, players take on the role of a pirate crew who have just captured the most feared ship on the seven seas. The loot is immense, but the vessel is ablaze, and Captain Fromm's skeletal crew isn't about to give up easily.
A unique cooperative system
The game uses a classic action point system, but with a unique twist: players can transfer their actions to other crew members. This makes coordination essential, as each turn must be optimized to deal with fires, enemies, and unexpected events.
The ship taking shape
The board isn't fixed: the game board is built as you explore room after room. Each game becomes different, with new challenges and configurations that change the way you approach the burning ship.
Enemies, flames and fatigue
As the pirates search for treasure, they must battle skeletal guards, put out fires, and manage their character's fatigue. These three systems—fire, enemy movement, and fatigue—intertwine to create constant tension.
The race for the treasure
The crew wins if they manage to recover the loot and escape the ship before it's too late. But if the fire rages, the pirates fall exhausted, or the skeletons prevail, Dead Men Tell No Tales will end with your defeat.

If the treasure of the damned exists, it is here beneath your feet , surrounded by fire, fear and curses.
In a cooperative adventure that mixes tactics, tension, and the treachery of the waves , every decision is a tightrope: spend your action points... or give them to those who can save your skin?
There 's no talking here. We fight, we burn, we capture .
And whoever gets out alive… has a story to tell. Maybe
A co-op like no other: fire advancing, skeletons returning, time running out

We played it, and never looked back 🐸
The first time we boarded Skelit's Revenge… we sank. But the second time… we won. Barely. Smeared with smoke and glory. Dead Men Tell No Tales is one of those games that keeps you glued to the table with sweat in your hands . The fire management system is among the most well-crafted we've tried: you always feel one step away from collapse.
Cooperation here is real , not optional: if you don't share resources, shifts, and decisions, no one gets out alive .
Every enemy is a difficult choice, every room a riddle of risk and opportunity. And that loot, over there... who's going to get it?
Us? We fell in love with its interactive story soul , the mounting tension, the moments when you scream “Run!” and the guy next to you says “No, I’m staying.”
A game for Froggers with a bold heart and a captain's gaze .
