Published in 2018, this is the Kickstarter Edition of the Kraken Expansion plus Miniature Pack for the Dead Men Tell No Tales Board Game. It includes the Kraken Expansion, 8 unpainted character miniatures, and all met stretch goals. Note that the core game is required to play and is sold separately. Paid add - ons from the Kickstarter Campaign are not included unless otherwise stated.
Imagine standing on a ship when suddenly you feel vibrations in your feet. A low rumble shakes the whole ship, growing louder and almost deafening. The ship lurches, and flames crawl up the posts. There's a screeching sound all around, and then you're on your back as the wood splinters and water floods the room. Then, a tentacle as big as a ship’s mast crashes through, destroying everything. But you're ready! You know the Kraken is in these waters, so you grab your axe and head for the treasure.
When playing with The Kraken, the basic gameplay of Dead Men Tell No Tales remains the same. However, a new threat from the sea has emerged. To win, you must not only get the treasure and your pirates off the ship but also kill the Kraken. If the Kraken destroys the ship or pulls it underwater, you lose.
