[Games] Rum & Bones - Main Page

"[Rum & Bones] is a game of pirate adventures and swashbuckling action! In it, players take control of mighty pirate crews clashing in head-to-head fights, all in an attempt to wreak enough havoc on your opponent's ship to force them to surrender!

Your crew ranges from lowly deckhands to powerful heroes, each with their own unique powers and abilities. It's up to you to coordinate the attack and utilize your heroes' various skills to crush your enemies. 

Once the game begins, players will take turns activating their Heroes an crew, attacking the enemy ship while trying to earn 8 Victory Points by eliminating enemy Heroes and destroying  key parts of your foe's ship." - Rums & Bones: Second Tide Rulebook, Page 4

With the release of Second Tide, Rum & Bones is in its 2nd edition.
