I was at a CON today and there were no more interesting board games left on the table so I went over to the vendors and picked out this little gem of a game. My friend, one stranger and I played it and ended up with a wonderful little adventure.
We didnt get to see the Kraken unfortunately but we sure had a bunch of fun.
At the end of the game, my gnome passed out drunk trying to pump out a water filled reactor room not to wake up until two minutes to safety. My friend passed out trying to six the engine room, then had two fires start in both adjacent rooms. Of course he had no fire exstinguisher nor any grog to help him brave the inferno's so was thusly trapped. The stranger drew out a fire spreading action and instead of taking one for the team (seeing as the only two options were for my friend to take it or him, he decided to send it to my friend, search for more items in hopes of getting an aqualung with which to escape with. So my friend dies, he doesnt get the aqualung, I wake up and do nothing for two turns to get us to safety.
This game really builds great stories.
I love it.
