Dead Men Tell No Tales

Players act as a crew of pirates working cooperatively to raid a burning ship, fight fires, manage deck hands, grab treasure, and escape safely before the entire vessel goes down in flames.

To set up Dead Men Tell No Tales, arrange the burning ship tiles, player boards, character cards, tokens, dice, and deck cards according to the rulebook instructions so the board is ready for the crew.

Each round follows a structured three-phase sequence: first, search the ship by flipping tiles and expanding the deck; second, take pirate actions using five action points to move, fight fires, and gather loot; third, resolve Skelit's Revenge where the ship strikes back with more fire, guards, and chaos.

The goal is to successfully loot enough treasure and escape the burning ship alive rather than focusing on competitive points.

The game concludes when the crew successfully loots enough treasure and escapes alive, or when the fire rages too high or crew members fall one by one, claiming everyone for Davy Jones's locker.

Plan your moves and actions very carefully because every step counts and poor coordination could lead to your crew's demise.
