(https://ksr-ugc.imgix.net/assets/021/151/370/2dce8e3a3f0dd22ca8d7a8944fb90c5b_original.jpg?crop=faces&w=1024&h=576&fit=crop&v=1525791508&auto=format&q=92&s=015908b5916ccee08918d476c02e7b8d)
Skull Tales: Full Sail! is a pirate adventures semi-cooperative game for 1-5 players aged 14 and up. You'll be able to play individual scenarios in 60-90 minutes or embark upon an immersive campaign that threads several different scenarios together into one captivating storyline.

Make your own destiny and become the terror of the seas in Skull Tales: Full Sail!
man.... and I was trying to save my money for Origins!
Funded in an hour! Nice.
Greetings friends,
Thanks to all of you for your support! With your help, we've funded the game in less than an hour... and this is just the beginning!
With your help, in the first 24 hours you have unlocked 15 stretch goals, including plastic coins, plastic gems, a cloth bag, new tiles, a prestige dial and more minis... we've already achieved the amazing number of 71 miniatures! including the Twins, that will still be available as an add-on after the 48 hours Early Bird.

We have lots of surprises prepared for the campaign that we will reveal to you gradually, starting with a lot of cool SGs. We hope that you will enjoy them as much as we do!
There is not much more to say than thank you - for your support and for helping make this project a reality in such a short time!
Greetings friends,
At this time, we have more than 31 unlocked SG's, as well as the Boardgamegeek.com fans social goal. Unbelievable!
Once more, thank you for your support!!
I keep waffling on this.
it's an awesome-looking game, and I love the idea of variable settings (at sea, on shore, etc)
I just don't know that I'm going to get $100 of playtime out of it, no matter how awesome it looks :-\
Greetings friends,
Because of you, Skull Tales: Full Sail! is able to take to the sea!
Before showing you the impressive list of what's been accomplished so far in this campaign, which has really set off at a great pace, we wanted to let you know that we're preparing a video where we'll see the game being played in English. We would also like to ask for your patience as we prepare images of some of the game elements for future updates.
So, even with 35 SGs unlocked in just 48 hours, there's still a long journey ahead of us before the Kickstarter campaign ends – which also means more booty!
Let's check out all the booty we've got so far!
- Miniatures (32 additional ones: 2 new heroes, 5 new enemies (26 minis), 2 enemies for the Journey phase and The Twins.
- Cards (51 new cards unlocked)
- 10 tiles (swamp, pit, lava) along with their tile markers.
- 4 medium tiles with corresponding markers.
- 40 plastic coins instead of tokens with aged finish.
- 20 plastic gems representing 2 gold coins each.
- 5 double-digit dials to keep track of your pirate's prestige.
- The action point compass dial allows you to keep track of spent AP.
- One exclusive metal coin for backers, used to mark who the Captain is.
- One cloth bag with the game's logo.
- Character sheet notebook to write down stats between games.
- 2 complete Campaigns.
- 3 independent adventures.
- New PVP game mode with 16 cards and 3 scenarios.

Skull Tales is sailing...raise the sails!
Damn. And I've been looking at pirate-themed games lately (such as Blackbeard by GMT).

I think
Merchants & Marauders is more interesting, and has much better components. Just better all around than
Blackbeard and more to do in it.
Thanks Nef, I'll look into that one. O0

The only similarity I have found with Merchant & Marauders is the pirate theme... :coolsmiley:
This is a semi cooperative adventure game when you have to explore islands, and sail in the same ship with the other players. So it's look like a different game with the same theme.
Greetings friends,
Many of you have already had the chance to meet our wooden dice tower which we've been using in many events we've been to, either in person or through videos.
We are proud to announce that we have a final design! It's very easy to set up and it can be dismounted just as easily, without the need for glue. This add-on will come with its own carton box.
We hope you enjoy it!!

order one for me, too!
As much as I'd love to, I just can't sign up now for something that'll come in about a year. I'm more of an instant gratification guy. This game looks absolutely brilliant, and I get how KS works, but I don't know that I can pull the trigger. I might have to go with Merchants & Marauders.
yo-ho-ho? :arr:
Hoes? Where?!?
Greetings friends,
The
English gameplay video is finally here! Many of you have been asking for it, so our good friends from the
YouTube channel JueGorrinos have helped us prepare a full gameplay video of
Skull Tales' Adventure phase.
Take a closer look at how the Adventure phase works, and get a feel of the exciting pirate adventures waiting for you in Skull Tales: Full Sail!
Will the fearless crew of the Southern Lady regain Captain Jones' logbook? Or will the Red Coats put an end to the Captain's legacy?
Looks pretty awesome. You're not making this any easier.
Want to provide us with a press copy? ;)

Perhaps a European based reviewer would make more sense, logistically speaking. ::)

Greetings friends
We have a Dice Tower that is the pride of the Caribbean. But what good is a dice tower without custom dice?
Here you have a new add-on with a spectacular design, to make your games of Skull Tales: Full Sail! even more thematic. Ten dice with a very exclusive design, with custom faces, and in two different colors, bone white and ash gray. Are you ready to test your luck for just $14?

Greetings friends,
We keep unlocking new SGs at a very good pace, and we are already very close to finding the treasure and reach our new KS exclusive Social SG, the Noble Rebel and her war dog miniatures!
In addition, we want to introduce you to this new ADD-ON for Skull Tales: Full Sail! in which we have been working on. The game contains tokens that represent 5 targets (for the Adventure and Journey phases) and 12 doors for the Village tiles. This $18 ADD-ON is for those of you want to upgrade those tokens and replace them with miniatures, or even to use them in other games. The chests are placed over the target tokens, and the doors are to be used in spaces of buildings and rooms in the Village.

Due to the huge amount of unlocked SGs we have, we are running out of space on the campaign page! So we've had to replace the description on KS with an image that groups the first 38 achieved SGs. But we will place a link to a detailed description and you will still be able to read exactly what they are.

Fair Winds and Following Seas!
Greetings friends,
We have listened to the requests of many of fans, and we can finally announce our new ADD-ON with 40 aged metal coins of 25mm in diameter and a thickness of about 1.5-1.8mm. With our own spectacular design, this great set of coins will bring: 20 coins in copper color, 10 in silver and 10 in gold.
(https://ksr-ugc.imgix.net/assets/021/353/727/f223598fef647bbdf7c825d302bb3523_original.jpg?w=639&fit=max&v=1527243897&auto=format&q=92&s=975fff47567b48eff2dbeba2538e23af)

But that's not all, we've also updated the English (http://www.eclipseeditorial.com/skulltales/Skull-Tales-Manual-KS-ENG.pdf (http://www.eclipseeditorial.com/skulltales/Skull-Tales-Manual-KS-ENG.pdf)) and Spanish (http://www.eclipseeditorial.com/skulltales/Skull-Tales-Manual-KS-ENG.pdf (http://www.eclipseeditorial.com/skulltales/Skull-Tales-Manual-KS-ENG.pdf)) rulebooks with relevant additions. The most significant one is the glossary of the 6 character classes (rogue, duelist, wise, mystical, brawler and sharpshooter) and more than 100 skills. Characters usually start with a Voyage and Adventure Skill.
Thanks!!

Greetings friends,
The end of this step of our journey is almost here, we continue working without pause these last hours of the campaign to ensure that the games reach your homes as soon as possible.
At a distance, the silhouette of Tortuga Isle can already be seen, but our journey is not over! We still have 24 hours left in the Kickstarter campaign, so don't forget to tell everyone that they can still get Skull Tales: Full Sail! much cheaper than once the "Late Pledge" starts.

Skull Tales: Full Sail! still sails through the Caribbean, so join us in our cruise, there are still a few hours left before we reach Port!
Fair Winds and Following Seas!
Last chance to embark with Skull Tales: Full Sail!
Enjoy these last few hours of the journey. Open a nice bottle of Grog and drink to your enemies' health because Skull Tales: Full Sail! is about to become a reality and it has come to experience a thousand adventures on your tabletops.
FOR YEMAYÁ!!!
After several weeks at sea, Buster 'Double Tongue' cried 'land ho!' from atop the crow's nest after spotting the coast of Tortuga Isle, home of the pirates. The crew was tired, but they were bursting with pride and happiness due to all the treasure safely stored in the hold of the Southern Lady.
Father Javier directed his thanks to the heavens, accompanying each line with a swig from his flask.
The boatswain, Louis 'Draco', was still giving orders left and right. It was as if he was preparing the crew for another oncoming storm instead of docking at a friendly port – always on alert. From the helm, Sergei 'Commas' hummed a tune as he tried to mentally calculate how much his part of the booty would come to.
At the main mast, Josman 'the Hermit', Rachel 'Knots', Deezza 'Silence', and Henry 'Bullets' were bringing down the sails.
Franky 'The artist' was cleaning the deck together with his friends Charles 'Letters' and Jesús 'Broken Wrist', while 'Red' James was in a rush to pick up all the navigational charts.
In the meantime, Captain Bald Beard observed his crew with his arms crossed as he smiled from the corner of his mouth already thinking about the next journey...
Thank you, truly and deeply, thank you.
Thanks for helping to make this dream come true. Thanks for making me realize there are amazing people out there that I don't know. Thanks for making it possible that friends, family, and even strangers, can sit around a table and for one moment in their lives become pirates as they smile, shout, jump up from their chairs and have a great time. Thanks for sailing all over the world. Thanks for helping me improve my game. Thanks for putting a smile on my face that will not disappear for a long time. Thanks for your stories, time, and good wishes.
Thanks, thanks, thanks again.
I wish I could support this.
So to profess my further ignorance of how this works, you posted up there "last chance." I am guessing this means one cannot support it after today/today is the deadline?
Does that mean needing to wait until the game is published and out on the market to secure a copy?
Sorry, the Kickstarter campaign finished a few hours ago.
However, you can choose the late pledge option and Eclipse team shall contact you as soon as pledge manager is open.
Thanks!
