Pirates: The Great Chase

The chase sequence feels genuinely tense with each page turn, and I loved how the graphic novel format makes you feel like you're in the middle of the action. Finished it in one sitting because I couldn't put it down.

The three pirates having different stats actually matters here — I replayed with the slower, stronger one and the chase to the escaped prisoner plays out completely differently. My kid keeps grabbing it to try the third build, so it's earning its shelf space.

Picked this up for a long flight and finished it in one sitting. Choosing between the three pirates actually matters since their stats change how you chase the escapee toward the island, so I replayed it twice to try different routes.
