There’s a required app that really makes it easy to jump into and play: it’s very good and taking you through set-up and allowing you to explore the pieces (see below). But, as you can see below, the game has great table presence! It’s very different than most games on this list, as you physically move around timers (see below) to perform activities on the ship. A Tale of PiratesĪ Tale of Pirates is a cooperative, real-time adventure where players work together to operate a pirate ship. There’s even a Kraken expansion which ratchet up the adventure! It’s more of a pick–up-and-deliver game, as you find and move treasure chests off the boat (which is why it’s so low on the list), but it’s a fun and thematic piratey game with “swashbuckly” components and feel (see above). The components and ship are all very thematic, with a “piratey” look and feel. It’s all about cooperatively raiding a burning pirate ship, trying to loot treasure off the ship before it (and the gunpowder) explodes! It’s not a real-time game, but it does have a certain urgency to the game as you explore and try to keep the fires down.

Dead Men Tell No Talesĭead Men Tell No Tales was a cooperative game I got on Kickstarter some time ago. It feels more like an “older” map game, with resource management (which is why it’s lower on this list), but it’s still very piratey and fun! 9. But, the piratey theme does shine through in the exploration of the Atlantic and the Gulf of Mexico.

Some of the ships had broken in our copy, and it was very hard to organize the game. By default, the cooperative mode has the ability for players to become traitors (which is very thematic and back-stabby like a pirate game should be), but you can get rid of all the mission cards that turn someone a traitor, so you can play it as a fully cooperative game. It’s one of those games that has both cooperative and competitive modes. I picked it up a recently from FunAgain games. The Pirate Republic is a game from Kickstarter some time ago. I know, it’s not a board or card game, but it’s so great we have to give it a shout-out. It’s a great game that is just ridiculous fun and swashbuckly.

Right now, I think GOG (Good Old Games) is the best way to get it, but I have the PS3 disk, the Amiga Disk, the iPad and iPhone downloads ( can’t be updated anymore, see here). Even though it had a short-lived resurgence when it was reissued a number of years ago, it’s a little harder to get a hold of. We talk about it on this blog a bit, because it was one of the greatest adventure games of all time! Swordplay! Pirate ships! Treasure! Puzzles! You could play it cooperatively with your friends (as a shared adventure). The Secret of Monkey Island is not even a board or card game, it’s a point-and-click adventure game for many platforms. After thinking about it for a while, we DID realize that there are a number of cooperative games in the Swashbuckling genre!! Swordplay! Adventure! Treasure! Pirates! Musketeers! Here’s a list of 10 really fun cooperative board and cards that are of a “swashbuckling” nature! Honorable Mention In our last blog entry, we lamented the lack of cooperative Three Musketeers board and card games.
