This week there ended up being just five of us and that was just the right number for Dead Men Tell No Tales, which I'd asked Mark to bring along as I wanted to try it again. Felix, Rose and Andrew had not played before. From our last game we knew we needed to keep the deckhands under control and did a good job early on. I managed to get one treasure onto our boat and then things seemed to go wrong very quickly. Andrew got trapped behind what we thought was a permanently blocked room as there were three deckhands in it but, on checking the rules we found that you could remove deckhands in adjacent rooms not just the room you were in. However, it was too late by that time as we again got overrun by deckhands to lose the game. |
