Captain Keep Upright

Captain Keep Upright

2026·Jiajia

2 - 5 players
15 - 35 min

From BoardGameGeek

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
