A pirate MOBA with miniatures: lead legendary heroes, smash enemy ships and loot Davy Jones' treasure.
Rum & Bones is pirates meets MOBA on a tabletop. Two to six players each command up to five legendary pirate heroes, every one with unique powers, and send them across a board to wreck key features of the enemy ships and seize Davy Jones' treasure. You are not alone out there: your crew also includes deckhands and bosuns who move and fight on their own, following simple rules, so the battlefield feels busy even on a quiet turn. Action points, dice and area control keep fights lively and a little unpredictable. Expect plenty of miniatures, loud trash talk and a game that looks more complicated than it plays.
Who it's for
You like miniature skirmishes and hero powers, and you play online MOBAs or at least enjoy the idea. A fine two-player duel with a pirate flavor.
Not for you if…
You want a quiet, low-conflict game or hate dice. This is a brawl on a ship deck with a lot of moving parts.
Vibe's take
Loud and lively. Heroes charge in, crews brawl around them, and the board always has something happening even when it is not your turn.
