What is Kraken

Feed the Kraken is a hidden role deduction game, with three asymmetric factions. All players may be sitting in the same boat, but they want to navigate in different directions! The loyal sailors must bring the ship safely to mainland, whereas the pirates crave to secretly maneuver the ship into the Bermuda Triangle. Meanwhile a crazy cultist is busy convincing parts of the crew to help him summon their dark lord —the Kraken— from the depth of the sea to save them all.

The goal of the game is to navigate the ship towards your final destination, which would be easy if only players weren’t divided into three different factions. Each secret faction wants to reach a different area of the board. Every turn the ship will sail in one of the three possible directions —but which one will it be? The current captain and their chosen lieutenant will study ancient sea maps and pass their often conflicting orders onto the chosen navigator, who has to make the final decision. Meanwhile the rest of the crew is busy drinking rum, gambling and telling each other tales of ancient sea monsters.

After each navigation, the lieutenant and navigator go off duty, and the captain has to find somebody sober enough to take their spot instead. Everyone can discuss, how well that last navigation went, who is to blame for the current course, and who should be in charge in the future instead. Convince your enemies that it is in their best interest to make you the next lieutenant, or navigator! You can even draw your guns and become the new captain in open mutiny! But for how long will you be able to keep the trust of your crew? The next mutiny might already be waiting for you if your decisions don’t please your fellow sailors.

De calle el mejor juego de roles ocultos. Es que simplemente te pueden pillar y aun asi les puedes convencer de que ganeis, una fumada. Muchísimo giro de guion y muchísima guerra interna a mas de un bando, que imo ya hacia falta que no fuese siempre "buenos" contra "malos"

Got some mixed feelings in here As the game has several small rules, there's a big chance of getting the game group got lost easily. So, for really enjoying the game, you must teach it 1 or 2 plays before at least Even when there's a good interaction, still is lacking of it compared to Salem 1642 which is more faster/easy to play A thing that made me curious during the gameplay is the fact that the captain could repeat several his role several times while he doesn't play a Drunk or Mermaid card. I guess this is solved by the mutiny step, but still, didn't find it too special or wow Can't s

It is a great game, role deduction, great theme, superb materials and components, one of the best board games i own. Perhaps the only drawback is that requires at least 5 people, but the good news is that your whole party can play if you need to. It is easy to explain, also it allows deductions to be made, choices, lies, everything. In my family they like Salem game a lot but the only bad thing on that game is that you make deductions based on almost nothing. This one has a little bit more to discuss.One advice, it is easy to touch someone when converting someone to cultist so take the advice
