Meuterer

What to Expect

Players take on roles as crew members of a merchant ship, selling goods and vying for control as captain. One player may become the mutineer to change the ship's destination. Using hand management and conflict points, players influence the voyage’s outcome. Points are earned by selling goods and reaching ports.

Who Is This Game For?

Meuterer is designed for 3 to 4 players aged 12 and up. It is a medium-weight game with about 60 minutes playtime, suitable for players with some experience in hand management and tactical decision-making.

How It Works

Each round, players select goods cards from their hands to sell publicly. The captain decides the ship's next port, but mutineers can try to seize control with allies adding conflict points. The game uses mechanics like Hand Management, Modular Board, and Point to Point Movement to simulate the ship’s journey and player interaction.
