Kraken Attack

Cooperative kids' game with asymmetric characters. As a pirate crew, you defend your ship from the kraken. As the game goes on, it gets angrier and more and more dice speed up its advance. After 3 hits to the head, the pirates win—as long as their ship is still intact. You can use whirlpools to remove individual spaces to make it harder. I really love playing this with my boys. The components are really nice.
