DEAD RECKONING
1:25:44 – Rules Gist
Avast me mateys! Let’s set sail for your rules gist for Dead Reckoning designed by John D. Clair, Art by Ian O’Toole and published by AEG.
In this 1 to 4 player game players captain their very own pirate vessel.
On a turn, play action or resource generating cards. The actions can be used in any order that the player desires with a hand limit of 6 cards at any given time.
Actions include setting their sails, generating goods, attacking other player ships, spreading influence to islands, building on an island, producing on an island, buying advancements for their cards, or producing goods in harbor.
Between their turns players can enter pirate mode which functions as an automatic combat scenario if another player stops on the same tile as you and upgrade one of the cards in their hand.
What would a pirate game be without sunken ships?! During combat players drop cubes into a battle ship functioning as a cube tower which determines the outcome of battle. It is possible to win a battle and still have your ship sink.
If any ship has five or more damage its going down! Losing some loot and requiring 5 gold to restore the ship.
Play ends when one player collects four of the in game achievements. After a player triggers end game everyone besides that player gets one final turn. End game scoring consists of gold currently held by players on their ship and in their chest in harbor, island control and any buildings on those islands, in game achievements, ship upgrades, end game card scoring and 1 vp for each two advancements found on their cards. The most points win. Any ties are resolved by combat.
Let’s return to the studio where we’ll find out if this game is sea worthy or destined for Davy Jones’ Locker.
