Hoist the sails, polish your eyepatches, and for the love of rum, don’t wake the Kraken! SAIL, the co-operative trick-taking adventure for two daring sailors, has docked on Board Game Arena.
In this swashbuckling test of teamwork, you and your mate must navigate stormy waters and steer your ship to safety. Sounds easy, right? Wrong! Not only is a tentacled nightmare lurking beneath the waves, but the roaring seas are so deafening you won’t be able to talk tactics with your fellow sailor once the round begins. (A real shame, because “DON’T PLAY THAT CARD!” is going to be your new catchphrase.)
Here’s how the voyage goes:

Exchange cards before each round.
Play tricks and trigger unique actions depending on who wins.
Try not to sink, flounder, or get Kraken-wrapped into seafood soup.
 
Victory means reaching the final token before the Kraken devours you or its deck runs out. Failure means… well, let’s just say you’ll be sleeping with the fishes, and not in a cozy “nap with dolphins” kind of way.
So strap up your piratical boots, sharpen your wits, and get ready to yell at your partner telepathically. The Kraken is waiting.
 
There is, of course, a tutorial to help you learn the game, and when you're ready you can set SAIL from the link below:

Let's thank Allplay and the game designers Akiyama Koryo & Kozu Yusei for this nice addition to our platform, and the huge work done by UFM to port it online.

It's your Friday on our SUMMER OF GAMES Calendar event!
That's your treat for this day.
Until next time, take care and play fair!

Now if only you showed ELO for cooperative games so users could judge teammates experience levels like we used to.

I was happy to see this game implemented here, as I have played it IRL. The implementation is very nicely done as well and true to the original.

Perhaps the cards could be redrawn slightly? They're very dark and the colour scheme makes it hard to see the numbers. This is also true for the real game.
