DEVELOPERS SHOWCASING IN JULY

High Sea Hustle by Jennifer Gao

High Sea Hustle is a strategic betting game about gambling wealth on a regatta (boat race). Inspired by Camel Up, players will place bets on a leg-based race with track-based obstacles, such as a ghost ship and a whirlpool. Players can gamble their pirate gold on leg bets as well as end-game bets for the finale of the game, with varying ranges of risks and rewards. Manipulating the movement of the ships with a dealt hand of movement cards, players are encouraged to be competitive and plot moves for their own and against the best interests of their fellow bettors. Strategise, sabotage, take risks and trust your gut to become the richest at the table.

Liars Loot by Thomas James

Liars dice meets card drafting and set collection. Each round players will wager about what lies out there on the high seas, informed by what cards they have in hand and information gleaned from other players. Inevitably, a Mutiny will break out and players will either unite around the Captain (agree with the wager) or join a Mutiny (disagree). The winning team will get first choice to take any players hand of cards as their loot, with losers left to pick from the dregs. Gain Booty cards for big points, amass a lot of Crew for set collection bonuses, or use ship and arms cards to gain control of islands or fight the Kraken, but beware Ocean cards which contain a variety of hazards.
