Skull Queen (2024)

About this game

Ahoy, mateys! Time to grab your pirate hats and set sail! Ready to claim the bounty of a lifetime? In this card game, you are the captain of a pirate ship preparing for a raid. But make sure, Captain, that you keep your good eye on your crew! If you want your attack to be a success, your crew will need to be perfectly positioned when the time comes! Skull Queen is a trick-taking game in which you determine before the game starts whether you will win or lose tricks for every suit. The player who chooses wisely and outplays their opponents will be victorious.

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Works with 2 to 6.
• Rules load. At 1.8/5 this is a light game — explain it in a few minutes, good for a table that has not played much.
• Age. The publisher suggests 8 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
