Press Release - Announcing a new printing of Dead Men Tell No Tales from Renegade Games

Announcing a new printing of Dead Men Tell No Tales!

Dead Men Tell No Tales is a cooperative game where players take on the role of a pirate crew, boarding Skelit’s Revenge for one purpose: treasure.  Battle the crew, the raging inferno, and your own fatigue as you fight to stay alive.  Do you and your crew have what it takes to make off with the loot and live to tell the story?  Or are you going down with the ship in Dead Men Tell No Tales? Today Renegade Game Studios is proud to announce that we have acquired the Dead Men Tell No Tales product line. Left in limbo and out of print after the untimely passing of publisher Minion Games' founder James Mathe, Dead Men Tell No Tales will be returning to store shelves this fall. We have a long-standing relationship with designer Kane Klenko (Fuse, Flipships, Proving Grounds), and are excited to continue that fruitful partnership. This new printing of Dead Men Tell No Tales will be mostly the same but  with one important addition. The Miniatures expansion, featuring 7 detailed player-character minis, will now come as standard in the base game, replacing the original wooden meeples! We've also changed the box size to accommodate the included miniatures, updated the rulebook, and included explosion tokens previously a part of the expansion. The new printing of Dead Men Tell No Tales will hit store shelves this October, so pre-order your copy today! For owners of the existing printing, we are also now selling the existing Kraken expansion and the miniatures expansion as well. Pre-order Now! Finally, for those of you that can't get enough piratey goodness, we're happy to announce that we've turned the beautiful box art by Chris Ostrowski into one of our jigsaw puzzles! A 1000 piece, 50x70cm puzzle will arrive later this year to join our growing puzzle line. Pre-order Now!

Announcing The Hunger!

Vampires awake from their torpor as the eternal roses are blooming. You have until sunrise to run to the Labyrinth and pick the most beautiful bloom, hunting for Humans on your way, seducing Familiars to help you, and increasing your Powers to become the most notorious Vampire. The Hunger is a race where each player will have to optimize their card deck, hunt Humans to gain Victory Points, fulfill secret Missions, and eventually acquire a Rose and return to the Castle before sunrise. The more you hunt, the slower both you and your deck become, which will make it harder and harder to get back before daybreak. Can you become the most notorious Vampire without burning to ashes at Sunrise?
