Kickstarter Tabletop Alert: Become a Legend in ‘Tiny Epic Pirates’

You’re just a sea dog now, but you have big plans: one day they’ll call you Dread Pirate! But first, you’ll need to hire some crew, plunder settlements, and amass a fortune to bury.

What Is Tiny Epic Pirates?

Tiny Epic Pirates is a game for 1 to 4 players, ages 14 and up, and takes 45 minutes to play. It’s currently seeking funding on Kickstarter, with a pledge level of $25 for a retail copy of the game. There are several other pledge tiers available, including a $10 print-and-play, $30 deluxe edition, and the $40 tier that includes an expansion. I would say that kids younger than 14 could also enjoy this, as long as they have some experience with modern board games. Thematically, there’s nothing that’s particularly inappropriate for kids, other than, you know, plundering settlements and stealing booty from merchant ships.
