One of my goals has always been to invent a board game based on the deep sea and lore around pirates. Finding enough inspiration and creativity to combine all the elements of what I was aspiring to create was the toughest challenge.
I wanted a sleek and stylish board, preferably glass. With simple rules and instructions for anybody to join in on the fun. For family game night or friendly game night. The design came to me after trying different textures and styles until what I wanted clicked. A board that truly represents and portrays the fun game I always wanted to not only make but to play.
This game is in the early stages as far as board game pieces being sold separately but the rules are set in stone. You could use any board game piece up to 7-players. Only requiring one six-sided die. If other people are looking for a reason to bust out those six-sided die in their crown royal pouches they now have a fantastic reason.
I have plans to take this game digital and beyond! Stay subscribed here for updates. Without further ado I bring you, Captain’s Curse! Sold in my Etsy store now!
