In Dreaded Flags, players refight historical naval conflicts between small fleets in the Age of Piracy. Players take command of one or more ships in engagements between privateers, pirates and/or pirate hunters.

This book contains everything you need to play the game: the rules, 8 scenarios, maps, charts, ship’s log pages and all necessary counters. You only need 5 6-sided dice, optionally 2 extra colored 6-sided dice, and a pen per player at home! Available worldwide on Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0C6VYSPTX

The book comes with 8 scenarios. Depending on the scenario, the game is played solitaire ( 2 dedicated scenarios and most others are very suitable for 2-handed play) or with 2 or 3 players. Most scenarios can be played in one sitting, with playtime ranging from 30 minutes up to about 2 hours. To help learning the game, scenarios have a complexity rating, so when learning the game simply start with the easier ones.

Dreaded Flags balances historical accuracy with straightforward and intuitive game play: The various types of fire used in the game reflect the risky and perilous nature of the combat. Other era-specific factors are also taken into account: you will discover first-hand the effect of a good captain and a motivated crew.

If you like to play with miniatures (or don't like to cut the maps out of the book), all maps and extra components are also available as free Print and Play PDF's here on Boardgamegeek.
