Description provided by Home Gamer Dad on YouTube:

Hello Family! The high seas are calling, and what they say is that a fearsome creature is terrorizing the shores! It's up to a group of brave pirates to ban together, build up their ships, loot, and supplies, and take down the beast. This is Davy Jones' Locker: The Kraken Wakes, and today I will be showing you how to play with ANY player count! This is a 1-5 player, cooperative game that is split into two Acts: Act 1 is gearing up and exploring the seas, Act 2 is the fight with the Kraken. Will you be prepared enough to face off against the tentacles of the monster, or will you and your crew be dragged down to you know where... As always, if you have any questions, leave them in the comments section. Also, if you're looking for any specific ruling, be sure to check the timestamps so you can jump right to it. Speaking of which, lets weigh anchor and shove off to adventure!

About Davy Jones' Locker: The Kraken Wakes, from BoardGameGeek:

Something is lurking in the depths of Davy Jones'... You've heard the stories - ships being ripped in half by a giant creature, maelstroms swallowing ships into the sea, & dead sea creatures washing ashore with strange markings. The tides are changing, & not for the better. The stories have struck fear in even the most fearless of Captains! They have decided to band together & prepare for what evil may be waking. Choose your ship, make sail to the ports, & gather everything you can to ready your ship…before it's too late! Davy Jones' Locker: The Kraken Wakes is a cooperative, pirate-themed game for 1-4 players split into 2 Acts. In Act 1, players will be using up actions to move around the map & upgrade their ship as much as possible before Act 2 begins. Exploring Ports, Visiting Markets, defeating Raiding Ships, Exploring Shipwrecks, & battling Naval Ships are just a few of the ways players can gain stat increases, gold, or equipment for their ships! Throughout Act 1, players will also encounter odd stories - pods of beached whales with strange markings, pools of red in the middle of the sea, & stories of ships being dragged down to Davy Jones' from nowhere... As the stories grow more present, so does the reason behind them: The Kraken! Once The Kraken wakes, Act 2 begins! Players will be sucked into a huge whirlpool & have to fight through the Kraken, its 8 tentacles, & ever-changing whirlpool currents. Ships will sink, but that doesn't mean they are out of the fight! Other players can rescue the stranded crew from the sea, allowing them to man parts of their own ship & keep pushing through the battle to send the Kraken back down to Davy Jones' Locker!
