Feed the Kraken*
* Players assume roles in a secret role deduction game featuring three asymmetrical factions. While everyone is on the same ship, their goals diverge: loyal sailors aim to navigate safely to shore, pirates want to lead the ship into the Bermuda Triangle, and a crazed cultist seeks to summon their dark ruler, the Kraken. Each round, the ship sails in one of three directions, determined by the captain's often conflicting orders, while the crew engages in discussions and possible mutiny amid their quest for control.
