Description

You're a captain whose ambition is bigger than your purse. After finally getting your hands on a rickety ship, you start at the tavern—enjoy a drink and recruit a crew of fellow spirits. Then, it's time to set sail! Your goal is simple: get rich. But the sea never gives without taking; unknown dangers are waiting… Captain Keep Upright is a 2–5 player tabletop game of Set Collection and Push Your Luck. Play takes place over 5 rounds, each split into a Recruitment Phase and a Voyage Phase. Use Closed Drafting to pick the crew you need—collecting sets of the same or different types will bring you various rewards. Once all players have drafted, the Voyage Phase begins: keep drawing cards from the voyage deck. The more treasure chests you reveal, the better the loot you can claim—but sailing is never safe. A shipwreck could leave you with nothing, so deciding whether to press your luck or play it safe is everything. Don't worry, though: use your crew's abilities wisely, and they might just save the day when it matters most. Outmaneuver your rivals and seize the legendary treasure! —description from the designer
