Ghost Pirates
Ethereal pirates swarm back and forth over each other's ships as the seas toss in the midnight storm. The decks of each vessel shift in and out of reality as the fighting begins. One captain and crew will emerge triumphant, and the loser will be damned to stalk the bowels of Davy Jones' locker.
How will it end for you?
The Game
Ghost Pirates is a tachtical action game for two palyers, that takes 30-45 minutes to play and is suitable for ages 13+. It's a great light-weight game that suits gamers from all walks including kinds and parents, and couples!
Gemplay is designed to emulate tactical melee battles with a unique dice mechanic that is easy to learn and quick to play, especially for beginning gamers. The compoents are 72 cards which build the play layout and form the draw deck, 34 crew tokens, and a small handful of pirate themed six-sided dice.
The Crew
This is a wholly self-published game, that utilizes the work of young independent artists and designers. One of the goals of this game, and this publishing project is to help young artists and designers grow their skills and portfolios with real projects so they can fully partipate and engage in their chosen capacity.
The game development is by Tim Rodriguez who started crafting games just about three years ago. Many ideas, false-starts and playtests later, Ghost Pirates was conceived and has been in development for about a year and a half.
The gorgeous artwork is by Eileen McLain. Graphic design is by David Berg. Music in the kickstarter video is "Darker Song" by Meghan Cary, from her new album "Building This House". The publishing label will be Brooklyn Indie Games.
