Davy Jones' Locker

A VP-collection game with a unique moving-target mechanic that provides a good amount of player interaction, a bit of take-that and just the right amount of luck. Each player controls two ships: The pirate ship can bury treasure, which becomes a target for other players to dig out, and can attack other ships to steal from them. The sailing ship must move onto landmarks on the board using limited movement dictated by a “wind” die, while being also a target for attacks. Both the treasure and the actions players can use come from chits drawn from a bag throughout the game. You win by having the most points in hand, buried under your treasure markers on the board, or from collected landmarks. The game can be played from 2 to up to 6 players. —description from the publisher AWARDS Finalist in the 2020 Geekway to the West game design contest (convention/contest cancelled).
