Les Petits Pirates is now officially available for purchase on
The Game Crafter and today I received my proof copy to check out before officially publishing it. And let me tell you, it's AWESOME to have a copy of the game with quality printed components! And the box turned out beautifully! No, it's not a fancy two piece game box (that drove the price up too much), but it's a very sturdy tuck-like box with a padded insert to keep the components safe. And the artwork printed out beautifully! Anyway, without further ado, here are pictures of the game and components in all their beautiful glory!
- $24.99 - Les Petits Pirates, as pictured.
- $7.99 - Les Petits Pirates, just the maps and rules (you supply the tokens and dice).
 |
| Les Petits Pirates all boxed up and shrink wrapped! |
 |
| I did all the artwork in the game, including the box. |
 |
| The box's dimensions are 6.75" x 9" x 1.25", so it's not too big, but won't hide on a shelf either. |
 |
Plays 1-3 players, 30-45 minutes, and ages 12+ (actually an 8 year old can play it fine, but I need to meet TGC guidelines
and they only go down to 12). |
 |
| The back of the box highlights the components and gives an overview of the game. |
 |
| Time to take the shrink wrap off. |
 |
| The padded insert is super nice for keeping everything organized and giving the box some structure. |
 |
| Everything comes bagged nicely. Not necessarily grouped the way I'd prefer, but this is how TGC packages the game. |
 |
| The rule book is small, but looks sharp! |
 |
| All the internal graphics are clear and colorful. |
 |
| Six maps, all much nicer looking than my OfficeMax printed prototypes. |
 |
The backs of the maps have the same artwork as the box. I wish TGC had good token options (cardboard tokens were
prohibitively expensive since I use so few in the game) for 1 and 5 Gold values, but I had to mix small wood tokens for
1 Gold and larger composite tokens for 5 Gold. It works, but if I ever get this published through a bigger publisher I'll
hopefully have more thematic tokens. |
 |
| The ship tokens are a little smaller than I'd have preferred, but the 12mm dice still fit on them nicely. |
 |
After repackaging the game I was happy to find that there were just enough baggies to sort each player's pieces separately
and have an extra baggie for the gold and starting player token. |
 |
| Everything packed back into the foam insert. |
 |
| Back in the box and ready to look beautiful on my shelf! |
