Arrrr! Pirates! We need your help and it will be worth it, lets capture a lot of booty together! 21 Mutinies - Arrr! Edition, presented by Asylumn Games, needs your help to launch. Put on the three-cornered hats, tie up your eye patches, fix your wooden legs and feed the parrots. 21 Mutinies makes you become pirates. It is an amazing game for casual gamers and families with kids about 10 years old and above and can be played with 2 to 5 players. All players are pirates on the same ship. One of them is the Captain, but like it has always been in the pirate anarchy, he must mutiny for this place and fight to keep it. Because everyone wants to be the captain, since that is the one to decide where the journey goes and what to do next. Each turn the Captain chooses an action to do next. The other crewmen, scoundrels and cutthroats to the core, may then decide to follow the captains action or to be of another opinion and mutiny. One of the mutineers becomes the new captain then. The aim of the game is to get as many victory points as possible and the easiest way to do that is to capture a lot of booty or to loot shipwrecks and combine the booty with a lot of rum to make the merchant drunk so it is easier to cheat him. Of course, as a ruthless scallywag you can always steal from the other scoundrels, but it might become difficult to find supporters for the next mutiny afterwards...

Here is a current, English version of the rules for you. (Work is still in progress.) 21 Mutinies is the most fun with 4 or 5 players and if the players get themselfs into their pirate roles. Best is to put some rum on the table to make it easier to talk pirate slang. At the latest after the first turns players form groups and alliances, because even a captain cannot sail a ship all alone. Communication is very important in the game and should be done ecsesivly, else you will miss alot of the fun. We testet 21 Mutinies - Arr! Edition many times. Also some well known boardgame bloggers from Spain did it. We asked them for their opinion and evaluation and this is what they said:

Andrés Delgado if the Spanish game blog "Jugando en Pareja" (Playing as a couple) writes:
"I think that 21 Mutinies is for players who like games like "Tobago" or "Santiago de Cuba": easy to learn but not not simple games for 4 or 5 players). 21 Mutinies has a family touch and it would be perfect, for example, as a winner of the "Spanish Game of the Year".[...]
The players should play the role of great buccaneers so the experience could be better and more immersive.[...]
People who need all the information at every instant or those who hate randomness could not like 21 Mutinies probably. Those who like hard games (like "Polis: Fight for the Hegemony") so this kind of game could be a "filler"."

Israel Béjar of the game blog "Discutir Jugando" (discussing games) writes:
"I think that 21 Mutinies is perfect as a family game and for casual gamers. I think also that it will fit well with players who like direct interaction and confrontation.
I enjoyed the game we played a lot, because it is a game that gives rise to some roleplaying, like, "hey buccaneer, let´s find treasures" or "let´s put an end to the tyranny of the captain!" and those things. It is very funny. [...] The fact to perform a role produces a lot of fun. For example the theft in the cabins, the mutinies and the fact that you should make the merchants drunk so you can receive more points selling jewels. The game is brilliant in that sense!
It is a game in which the communication is constant, in which you can (and you must) negotiate with the other players. I think players who like having all control over the game and people "allergic" to randomness will not like this game." Perepau Llistosella created this crazy pirate game. With Teseus/Sidi Baba (published by Hurrican) he won the Boulogne-Bellancourd contest.
He also has a lot of experience from playing many test games to make the game better. He is objective about it and writes:

"Well, the essence is that 21 Mutinies is a very easy game to learn for non gamers: it is enough to do the same action as the captain (you don´t need to rack your brains). But, soon you will know that this is not the way to win the game, that there are a lot of decisions to make and evaluate. [...] Decisions you make are very important. That is the reason the game has some learning curve which is necessary to play again.[...]
[the game is good for]
- Players who love light games.
- Eurogamers who want to play with family or non expert gamers.
- Eurogamers who want to relax between two Caylus games.
- Families used to play family games.
[...]
Theme is experienced a lot in the game. Sometimes [in testplay] players sing to the captain so he makes some decision under oath that they will choose the same action and not to mutiny ("We want rum! We want rum!").
[...]
[Communication] is plentiful. People like to give their opinion about the best option for the captain, and they threat to not follow him if he does this or that action." Our company is only three years old and not very well known internationally. Because of that we do not have many established ways of distribution for our games. As we could see with Polis, also people outside of Spain like our games and so we want 21 Mutinies - Arrr! Edition to be available in more different languages right from the start. We already paid the most of the cost to create this game, especially for the graphics. Now we want to start the international production of the game and we want to fund at least a part of it in the Spieleschmiede to make it possible. The text in the rules and on the cards shall be English, German and Spanish. As Smithies you have the unique opportunity to be part of the game yourself. On the playing cards there are pictures of pirates, that could have your faces and the cover of the rulebook has space for four Contributors. As a placeholder our Illustrator worked in some well known fellows of the gaming scene to show it :). As Smithies you get the picture above as an exclusive poster. And as a special thank you all Smithies get the exclusive Treasures of the Empire Expansion. This is exclusively available only to Smithies and adds some very special treasures to the game.

The eyepatch with the skull symbol is an option for the fashionable pirate captain. It shows, who is the current boss on the ship. If 21 Mutinies finds enough supporters to do so, we can equip the game even better

at 5.000 € - Hoist the Sails!
The risk is acceptable, we make an international verion of 21 Mutinies - Arrr! Edition

at 10.000 € - Run before the wind!
Each player gets a short rule tableaut with the most important rules

at 20.000 € - Jewels from the brigg
10 additional Mutiny cards with new effects will be added to every game
