Nassau - Game Overview
Nassau is the 7th game in the Stefan Feld City Collection series!
Take on the role of pirates going on adventures. Each of you has your own ship that needs a competent crew armed to the teeth, lots of cannons, ammunition, and provisions to thrive while navigating the seas, conquering outposts, fighting sea monsters, and plundering valuable goods. Tell your tales over a bottle of rum and impress your fellow pirates. Who will have the best tales to tell?!
In Nassau, each player represents a pirate crew trying to earn the most points during the course of the game. Nassau is played over 4 seasons, with each season broken down into 2 phases.
Game Phases
Phase 1: Preparation
Players collect different items like weapons, pirate pets, coins, rum, sails, and other supplies on the city game board to make their ship stronger and prepare for Phase 2. Players acquire these items using a clever placement mechanism in the city of Nassau, which allows for strategic decisions.
Phase 2: Adventure
It is time to test how good your crew and ship really are by sailing the seas and taking on various adventures. Each action costs provisions, and depending on where you sail and what you do, you’ll need weapons, cannons, and ammunition. Be cautious, though—each weapon and cannon must be manned by a pirate, so balance is key. Pirate pets grant special powers that can turn the tide of battle.
Once your journey is complete, you must return to your home base, but not without telling tales of your adventures to earn points. The better the tale, the more points you will receive.
