Ratings and reviews

Fantastic game!!! It was the first game to use your phone as a pirate ship playing piece. Its a simple pickup and delivery game but the ability to grow and add content it limitless. You need the actual board game to play. I hope they keep maintaining this and develop both a second edition and some sort of method for players to submit new jobs.

This is what I expected when buying the board game. Gameplay gripe - some things (like the crab) should scale to the player count. Gameplay praise - simple enough to understand after your initial playthrough. App gripe - despite "only" using the Wifi, a WAN connection seems to be required to start a game. App praise - the tooltips always provide enough info to avoid looking in the rulebook.

Great game! I hope they continue to update. Definitely need more captains and ship options. Also, app will glitch while playing sometimes.
