Käpt'n Memo

Käpt'n Memo turns a pirate voyage into a tense memory challenge on the Memorian Sea. For 2 to 5 players aged 8+ and with a playtime of about 30 minutes, the game builds its action on a 7 x 7 sea grid where routes are not rolled or drawn, but steered card by card. Each voyage puts a different player at the bow, aiming to uncover 5 treasure troves while avoiding repeated dangers that capsize the ship. The course is shaped through a clear sequence: the captain reveals the card in front of the bow, moves the ship onto that space, then points the bow toward the next face-down card. The ship never sails diagonally, the saber space in the middle cannot be entered, and long-distance sailing only happens when no adjacent face-down card remains. Telescopes can be spent to secretly inspect 1 face-down sea card, while ruby cards can only be collected when enough treasure troves are already visible in the sea. That link between revealed treasure and ruby value gives the memory play a tactical edge beyond simple matching. Sailors are never passive passengers. After each new course is set, they choose whether to remain on board, jump off for doubloons based on visible treasure troves, or grab the saber and attempt a mutiny before the next reveal. A successful mutiny ends the voyage with a barrel reward, while a failed one throws the mutineer overboard empty-handed. Tobias Tesar created the game concept, and Felix Wermke gives the sea, ship and hazards their lively pirate look at the table.
