Full disclosure: A review copy of Sail was provided by Allplay.

There's a grand ambition I have every holiday season to actually get ahead on reviews, and, well, it looks like this is going to be another year where that doesn't really happen pretty much at all. I'm trying to get ahead before BGG.CON, at least, so that's something. I should have a few weeks of reviews ready by that point to maybe give me some runway before things get too festive over here. After PAX Unplugged, though, I should be kicking it locally at home for a nice, relaxing holiday season. Has that ever happened? No. Will it ever happen? No. Is it a nice thought? Yes. Either way, we've got some games to check out, so let's get right to it. First up is one of Allplay's new small box games, Sail!

In Sail, players are pirates aiming to sail the seas to their destination. Is there loot? Plunder? A five-or-so movie series? It could really be anything at this point. The one thing there's guaranteed to be is a Kraken, unfortunately, and that giant menacing cephalopod stands between you and your destination. Some islands do also, but it's not their fault. They're just victims of circumstance. So get a partner, gather your cards, and steer your ship to victory or doom! Can you make it through these rough seas? Or will you end up on the fast track to the ocean floor?
