TEP is a 1-4 players and a game lasts about an hour. In the beginning, there is a lot of chaos (random resources, random actions, and dice for battles), but after a few rounds, you can really dodge this hazard, take control, play your strategy and do a lot of combos. Of course, this is a pirate game, so there are interactions between players! You can interact directly by fighting others to gain prestige, become a Legend and upgrade your ship. Or you can be smarter than the others and sell the same resources they stock to lower their prices for example !

Tiny Epic Pirates is a 45 minute, 1-4 player game of high-seas adventure, utilizing a variable rondel action system and action combo-ing!. In Tiny Epic Pirates you take control of a Pirate ship with the goal of burying vast amounts of wealth on secret island hideaways.

The end of the game is triggered once a player has buried three treasures. To do this, a player must first acquire the amount of gold required to bury at the various bury spots on the map. After all players have had an equal number of turns. The player who has buried three treasures wins the game. Ties are decided by the player who has the highest legendary status, followed by which player has the most gold.

I must admit I had rather been looking forward to reviewing Tiny Epic Dungeons. I have heard of (though never experienced) the Tiny Epic series, and was initially going to be covering the new Tiny Epic Vikings entry, but alas, there were no more prototypes available and as such, I was told I could try out Tiny Epic Dungeons. Which made me happy, because as many of my readers know, Dungeon Crawls are one of my two favorite genres (the other being 4X games).

So when I opened the parcel received from Gamelyn a few weeks ago, I was a little disappointed to find Tiny Epic Pirates (not Dungeons) staring back at me. Not only due to the fact that I had been expecting something else, but also due to the fact that sometimes I find Seafaring games to be a bit placid.

The tokens are cute, little mini-meeples in the shape of a Captain or Deck pirates, and there are a few other cards each player will receive to mark their status (The Legend Tracker, and the Wheel, more on these later).

Players on the board will be represented by plastic ships that can easy hold 3 wooden cubes representing goods. There is also a white Navy ship and two Merchant ships that also hold a wooden cube that can be plundered if you are seaworthy enough.

In addition, there is a nice deck of mini cards that represent various Pirate Captains and Crews players may come to acquire. And each player will also receive some tokens that neatly align on their Wheel card to represent various actions that they may take.

For example, I loved the way that the aforementioned Wheel Tokens are randomly selected and placed around your Wheel. Since this represents the order of actions you can take when it is your turn, it essentially means that each player may be doing something entirely different when it comes time for them to take an action.

Plunder : If your pirate ship is on a space that contains two swords, you may plunder that area to receive one or two goods from a bag that contains 4 different types of such booty and swag. The value of each good type is (again) neatly randomized at the beginning of each game.

Trade : If you happen to be on a map space that has the trade icon, you may trade the items of the same color that are of the same color as depicted on the map space for gold (if you happen to have the items required at hand).

Delving a bit more into the gameplay, the ultimate goal in Tiny Epic Pirates is to be the first pirate to bury three treasures on the map. But in order to bury a chest, that first means you need to fill it with gold, usually 12-13 pieces per chest.

Another thing that is positive in our experience is the scaling difficulty. Though never overpowering, it is nice the way merchant ships get progressively stronger as the game goes on, and the Navy gets more movement during its activation for players that have buried more treasure than the others. These are some pretty nice touches. And it is also nice that players get a chance to bolster their ships and get another deckhand and some nice bonuses as the game progresses. And all-in-all, this is a nice accomplishment given how quickly the game can play (30-60 minutes), because it can be hard to have a sense of making a milestone during the shorter game experiences.

My wife is normally adverse to competitive games, and felt that the way the rules handle in-game confrontations makes it such that even if you lose an individual battle, it does not feel so catastrophic that it ruins the game due to one player getting a huge advantage as a result of their win or loss in battle.
