🐸 How pre-orders work

An order that includes a pre-order ships all together, once the last game is ready: if you want the in-stock ones right away, order them separately. Dates are publisher estimates and can change. Until the game ships you can cancel and get everything back, just write to us; after delivery you have the 30-day return window. Full details in the terms and conditions.

🐸 A wise frog knows when to split the order… and when to wait for the right leap.

Someone whispers "I'm with you," someone votes water during the attack, someone pushes you toward Tortuga with a loaded pistol. And in the end, you discover your best ally was the traitor.

WHAT IT IS

Caribbean, 1667: the treasure is on the ship, trust is at the bottom of the sea

Designed by Travis Hancock and illustrated by Holly Hancock and Sarah Keele, Tortuga 1667 is the second volume of the Dark Cities Series by Facade Games. You are pirates attacking a Spanish galleon, but everyone has a secret loyalty: some want to bring the treasure to the French ship, some to the Spanish one, and others just want to abandon their companions on the island of Tortuga. Alliances shift turn after turn, and no one truly knows who they are helping.

At the table, you vote for attacks, mutinies, and brawls. You move pawns between the three locations (galleon, French ship, Spanish ship), collect gems, and vote on cards that build or sabotage common actions. Information is fragmented: no one has cards in their hand, but you can peek at the Event deck to figure out where the traps are and force an enemy to draw them. Communication is everything: share clues with those you believe are allies, lie to those you believe are enemies, and hope you don't get both wrong.

What they say abroad

Tortuga 1667 works because nobody really knows who is on their side until the final vote. It's the moment when someone plays Crossbones during your attack that you realize you're alone.

In summary

Why we like it: it scales from 2 to 9 players without losing its bite, the alliances are fluid and never predictable, and selective communication creates moments of pure paranoia. Flaws but not deal-breakers: with fewer players, it loses the confusion that makes it special; starting with fixed roles limits immediate replayability; dependence on card text makes it difficult to play without knowing English.

What's in the box

Gems, votes, and locations: the pieces of betrayal

🗺️

Three locations

Spanish galleon (to attack), French ship, Spanish ship. Move your pawn to collect gems or escape. Each location has different rules for winning or losing.

🗳️

Vote cards

Each card has three sections: Attack, Mutiny, Brawl. You vote in secret to make common actions succeed or fail. A water card at the right moment sinks everything.

🎴

Event deck

No one holds cards in their hand: the deck is communal. You can peek at cards to understand where the traps are and force an enemy to draw them. Half the events harm whoever draws them.

💎

Gems and treasure

Collect gems from the galleon and bring them to your secret ship. But if you are abandoned on Tortuga with too many gems in your pocket, you lose. The weight of the loot is a risk.

🎯 COME SI GIOCA

Game ofhidden roles,temporary alliances,betrayalsAndgold coinsin the heart of the Caribbean.

1) Every pirate has a secret team, but no one really knows who to trust.

At the beginning each player receives a cardSecret Faction(English, French or sometimes a Solitaire): The goal is to accumulate treasure for your faction, not for whoever is next to you on the bridge.

The problem is thateveryone lies, no one can openly declare their loyalty andalliances change every turn.

2) The ship, the island and the galleon: three places, three different opportunities

During the game pirates can find themselves on themain ship, on theTortuga Island(marooned, therefore with less power), or on theSpanish galleonon the attack.

The available actions change depending on where you are, sothe physical position is also strategic and political.

3) The actions of the turn revolve around Events and information management

On the table there is a line of Event cardshidden informationMany cards are very useful, others are devastating to you and your faction.

Before revealing a card it is almost always betterspy on her, orto trust (or pretend to trust)of information received from other pirates.

In this gamethe truth costs more than gold.

4) Attacks, brawls and mutinies are resolved with shared Vote cards

When a collective action (Attack, Brawl or Mutiny) starts, the players involvedthey secretly select a voting card.

The result obtained depends on the combination of the votes revealed, and canfail operations, steal important roles, change captains or even send you to Tortugaas punishment.

Every voting card is precious:Using it at the wrong time can give victory to the enemy faction.

5) End of game and victory

The game ends when there are no more actions left to change the situation or when the end of the Event deck is reached.

The factions are revealed and checkedWhich team has the most treasures?.

If they existlone traitors, sometimes they can even win alone, making the outcome even more unpredictable.

Tortuga 1667 – Where pirates talk alliance… with daggers at the ready.

A game of betrayal, fragile alliances, and treasures no one wants to share.

It's not a raid.
It's a play of false promises and salty smiles.

The ship is not a vessel: it is a floating trap filled with secret pacts, suspicious eyes, and guns that are never completely empty. Each round is a pact that lasts five seconds, then dissolves into the dark water like a broken oath.

In Tortuga 1667 you don't play to win together: you play to be the last one laughing with the chest in your hand. Collect clues, observe glances, feign loyalty, strike at the right time. And when you think you've found an ally... check if they've already booked your spot on the rocks.

Trust is a weapon: use it before they use it on you.

Social deduction, sharp votes and wet paper alliances

Tortuga 1667 is a strategic party board game for 2 to 9 players, designed by Travis Hancock and published by Facade Games. A game of social interaction, bluffing, and diplomacy, set in the 17th-century Caribbean, where players work together in turns to plunder the Spanish ship… with no guarantee of actually dividing the loot.

No one has a traditional hand of cards: information about Events is shared, partial, and manipulable. Votes define attacks, mutinies, and brawls, testing timing and credibility. Perfect for those looking for a thematic, theatrical and unpredictable board game, ideal for large groups and lovers of elegant betrayal.

Mechanics with Sense – “Your voice is worth more than your sword”

The heart of Tortuga 1667 is the voting management: attacks, mutinies and brawls depend on when you decide to declare which side you are on. A piece of information left unsaid is worth its weight in gold, a move revealed too soon is worth exile. Here, the best pirate doesn't win: the most convincing liar does.
