Mayflower Pilgrims

Mayflower Pilgrims is a game for one to five players which takes about 30 minutes to play. It's a co-operative game, so the players must work together to do the best they can as they face many challenges and puzzles. The heart of the game is knowing when and where to play your character cards skillfully. It's a great solo game, as well as being perfect for a table-full of players aged seven and up.

Based on the well-known story of the Mayflower's voyage in 1620 and the first year at Plymouth Plantation, the game also includes the first ever Thanksgiving in November 1621. At the heart of the game are 105 character cards featuring all those who sailed in the Mayflower and their new Native American friends. Seven episodes take the players through the entire first year of the new colony, ending with the first Thanksgiving, and each episode presents a different game-play challenge. If the players can work together to save more than half the characters, and so match or better the historical outcome, they win.

We're hoping to continue building the number of followers into 2026, during which time we'll reveal more details and then launch. Based on usual conversion rates this will be when we hit 750 followers. Thank you for helping make this happen by becoming a follower and letting others know about this project.
