Outset Media Feed The Kraken Essential Edition - A Sailor's Favorite Deduction Game - for 5 to 11 Players Ages 12 and up

What a fun game! Glad we bought it. It has become a Fam favorite.

My sister and I discovered this game at Chupacabracon 2 years ago and absolutely fell in love!! Unfortunately, at that time, it was insanely expensive & overseas shipping - granted, that version was all these amazing 3D printed pieces. This version has simplified (less expensive) pieces - but they're still very well made.

Terrific game, my college age son and his friends played 3 times the day it arrived. It is better with more players.

What a fun game to play. Our friends brought it over and after playing it with 4 other couples that night, everyone went home and bought the game without knowing it. It was seriously so fun

I've only played the short map with at most 7 players. The game is easy to learn, fun for the short length, and has memorable end game moments. It's a good wrap-up game for the night. As the essential edition, the components serve the game well enough. I would like to try this game at a higher player count as I believe it only gets better with more players. Unfortunately, even getting 7 players to the table is a challenge in itself. Still, a good game to have for when the opportunity arises.

great social deduction game, components are pretty good overall a great time

Can't wait to play it! The package arrived much sooner than I expected and the product was pristine inside! Looking forward to playing it with my friends soon. This was a nice purchase because the original developer's site doesn't ship the basic version to the US.

This is a social deduction game so as with all games of this type, the more players you have the more fun it becomes. Many social deduction games take a long time to play, however this one really shines in this aspect since it only takes about 30-45 minutes. My gaming group prefers playing multiple shorter sessions rather than one long game but your preferences may vary so just keep in mind that this is shorter play time. The components are great quality (not as good as the deluxe edition but definitely passable and durable). My gaming group and I had had a ton of fun playing this game, we played about 4 time after the first initial learning game. The rules are fairly simple and it was very easy to figure out how everything worked. As a game "collector", I am very happy to add this game to my collection. I have a very large collections with games ranging from just a few bucks to hundreds of dollars and I can confidently say that the $44 price tag on this game is well worth it! The hours of fun you will have makes the value great! Keep in mind that with all social deduction games, you do need a large group of players (5 minimum) to make this work so this may not be the best game for you if you don't have a consistent larger group to play with.
