About The Plank
Part of the pirate crew has decided to mutiny. You find yourself forced out on the plank, but there is one last hope. The last one left on the plank will be spared and allowed back on the ship! The plank is a push your luck dice game where you try to move as little as possible each turn. But as you get closer to the edge of the plank, you need to adjust your rolls to roll lower and lower. You can collect coins to gain extra rolls or ignore dice, or collect swords to push the other pirates closer to the edge. —description from the designer
