Overview
Captain Flip: In the Jaws of the Kraken
The seas are no longer safe—especially when the Kraken lurks beneath the waves!
Captain Flip: In the Jaws of the Kraken is a mini-expansion for the award-nominated game Captain Flip (Spiel des Jahres 2024 nominee). This expansion introduces a new set of 5 Adventure Boards featuring the deadly Kraken, challenging players to gather treasure while avoiding the monster’s grasp.
Theme and Gameplay
The Kraken’s presence adds tension and tactical twists. Players must balance risk and reward as they race to fill their columns with crew members, earning coins and potentially claiming the Treasure Map. Completing identical or diverse crew columns triggers new bonuses, allowing for more daring strategies.
For those who want to sail alone, Solo Mode offers a scoring challenge:
Earn as many coins as possible to climb the ranks from Landlubber to the legendary Legend of the Sea.
The expansion tweaks how columns are scored and introduces a race against time, as the Kraken’s shadow grows with every move.
This mini-expansion requires the Captain Flip base game to play.
