Skull & Crossbones (rev 5) — About this game
Skull & Crossbones (rev 5) follows two pirates seeking revenge against the wizard who stole their treasure. Ship and island encounters bring different enemies, with sword fighting that depends on the direction held as the Sword button is used. A separate Turn action changes the pirate’s facing, which matters because a defence protects the front even though attacks can be directed either way. Collecting treasure and supplies supports the journey through opposing crews, guarded locations and the wizard’s final stronghold.
