The game in brief
Secret Sails is a naval strategy game of hidden ranks and simultaneous orders, for two to six captains. Every ship's rank is hidden from the other captains until she fights. Everyone gives their orders at once, and the round resolves together. Play it free in a browser, alone against rival captains played by the computer or with friends over days, or print the free kit and play at a table. A wooden edition is planned.
