From critics and players

What they said about Tortuga

My captain betrayed me. It was a wild journey, full of cannons and mutiny.

Oct 2018

I have just over 70 board games currently in my collection and Tortuga may be my absolute favorite game. It's certainly one of my favorites to introduce to new players. So thank you for seemingly endless hours of joy-filled fun and connection you've provided us!

Tortuga 1667 adds so much more gameplay and variety that I'm not sure it will get stale for a long time.

This game is great! My younger sons (8 & 6) play it with us with help and have been dressing up as pirates around the house every day since the game arrived in the mail.

The initial reaction to Tortuga 1667 is that it is gorgeous. Even down to the fake book that it's stored in and the roll out map you play on.

Who doesn't dream of being the Captain of the Flying Dutchman or Jolly Roger? More, who doesn't dream of leading a mutiny and marooning a captain on a deserted island? We always have fun with this game, and it's a great one to add a little more depth and complexity if you're a fan of social deduction games. You can play with all ages, something we appreciate with all the kids in our lives, but it isn't so tame or childish that it doesn't appeal to the big kids.

Tortuga is a quick, dynamic, and beautifully historic game with high replayabiltiy. The packaging is stunning, as is a hallmark of Façade Games.

Oct 2018

I got Tortuga for Christmas! It was a wonderful game. Fast play and fun to think through. … My mom who doesn't usually play these types of games really enjoyed it!!

We played 8 players and absolutely loved it! We really enjoyed how nobody is "bad" or "good", like how most social deduction games are. It didn't cause too much pressure to lie, but you could kind of just be yourself and do well!

Set in the Caribbean on the isle of Tortuga this is a game of clever mechanics, simple treachery, and thematic blows.

May 2019

Party games are usually not our jam, but this one ticks all the treasure chests. With amazing components, we love the beautiful simplicity which is Tortuga 1667.

May 2019

Yes, I have to admit, I love this game partly because of its packaging and components. The game comes in a book like case, which while novel in itself, also holds unique game pieces.

Apr 2019

Not all games work so wonderfully like that, so Tortuga 1667 is like getting two types of games in one. A nice bonus treasure.

Apr 2019

You'll get more excitement, strategy, and variety than you thought possible in a game with this many players, and with everyone staying involved, I think that you're in for a good hour of fun.

Apr 2019

My friends and I love Tortuga. We play it weekly, and always have a maxed out group, in fact we always have people waiting to join in on the fun for round 2 or 3.

Over the last month, my work's board game lunch group has been playing Tortuga 1667 on a regular basis with no less than 15 total people introduced to the game. … I have been told by 3 separate people that they have purchased a copy of the game because they enjoyed it so much including one guy who bought 3 copies as gifts for his family.

A la vista está que Tortuga 1667 no solo mantiene sino que excede la producción de su primer juego.

It is plain to see that Tortuga 1667 not only matches but exceeds the production of their first game.

Aunque ambos juegos compartan elementos, las sensaciones de juego son claramente distintas por lo que Salem 1692 no se pisa con este juego que, además de bien producido, nos ofrece un juego fresco y unas variantes que mejoran el producto y lo convierten en un gran juego.

Although both games share elements, the play sensations are clearly different, so Salem 1692 does not tread on this game which, besides being well produced, offers a fresh game and variants that improve the product and turn it into a great game.

Tortuga made a wonderful gift for my daughter! We played as a family on Sunday night. Everyone enjoyed it (me 35, my wife 34, my daughter 11, and my son 5) including my wife who was not really into it at first but then found herself calling for all the brawls as the governor of Tortuga!

I work with at risk youth and they love the Tortuga game, it's a great way to show them some good clean fun and build relationship.

My wife and I are stationed abroad in Japan, so for me it can be really hard to find fellow gaming enthusiasts. But Tortuga is that rare game that everyone loves, even my wife.

One of my English students and I are playing weekly … Here's a photo we made at a local pub called "Capitain Morgan" in Las Pajanosas (Sevilla), at our favorite table in "el timón del capitain".

So I can heartily recommend Tortuga 1667 as a light, fun, group game. It's easy to learn and gets even non-enthusiast gamers involved right from the start once you explain the pirate code.

Nov 2017

Also, Tortuga 1667 is better with more players – four works, but isn't really enough. Six or more and you're looking at a good time.

Plein de situations sont possibles. Cela rend chaque expédition fort plaisante.

Plenty of situations are possible. That makes every expedition highly enjoyable.

J'ai tout de même remarqué qu'il y a plus de piquant quand le hollandais se cache parmi l'équipage.

I did notice all the same that it has more bite when the Dutchman is hiding among the crew.

As a pirate in 1667, you and your crew plan to rob a Spanish Galleon and split the treasure—only, you have no intention of keeping your word. And, you're pretty sure your mates intend to mutiny against you.

Sep 2017

Tortuga 1667 is a social game for 2-9 players of hidden identities – those identities just happen to be pirate themed.

It's super simple to learn, plays fast, and will have you losing friends faster than you can shake a saber at them!

It didn't take but a second for the game to capture my attention by it's theme and lovely packaging, but once I looked further I was really impressed.

Jan 2017

I absolutely love the presentation of this game- from the fantastic game box (an old book, perhaps the Captain's log?) to the perfect little game mat with ships and Tortuga.
