For centuries any British ship coming back from Spain to the Downs had to pass the rugged coast of Cornwall, immortalised in the old naval tune, Spanish Ladies:
“We’ll rant and we’ll roar like true British sailors,
We’ll rant and we’ll roar all along the salt sea,
Until we strike soundings in the Channel of Old England,
From Ushant to Scilly is thirty five leagues.”
Now you can recreate the golden age of piracy west of the Tamar, complete with parrots, doubloons, galleons, barrels of creatively imported contraband and robbery on the high seas. Oh, and sea monsters. The Pirates of Penryn, the debut project of SeaGriffin Games Ltd, has sailed onto the market courtesy of the creative duo, Cait and Matt.
Exercise your charm - or lack of it - and ferocity in Cornish waters; whet those cutlasses, prime your muskets, spit the Devil in the eye and teach that parrot to dance.
You heard me, sea-dogs. Switch the telly off, crush your phone under your heel, exorcise all those boiling inner hatreds and resentments by blowing your entire family to hell with a 64-cannon broadside! Failing that, set a slavering sea-beast upon them and laugh and clap as hubby or daddy - whoever is irritating you most - vanishes down a slimy reptilian gullet. After all, you’re never too old to play pirates.
Below is a link to the Pirates of Penryn online store, where you can learn more about the game and its creators, as well as order the game via Ye Old Shoppe.
