One Piece Nakama: Friends & Enemies is a board game released in 2024 for 1–5 players, 20–45 minutes per game, and ages 10 and up. It was designed by Marcello Bertocchi and its main mechanics are Hand Management, Dice Rolling, and Cooperative Game.
Recruit new friends, solve quests to defeat enemies and become the Pirate King! One Piece NAKAMA is a cooperative board game for 1-5 players. Players take the role of Luffy and other members of the Strawhat and need to recruit new friends from the whole One Piece Saga. The combination of the current Friends that joined the crew will allow to fulfill the quests on the Enemy cards in play and defeat them, collecting their reward...but for every undefeated Enemy the threat level will rise. Let it rise too much and you will start losing friends. Lose too many friends and you will lose the game. One Piece NAKAMA brings to the table 100 characters of the One Piece world, and the most important concept: friends that you meet during the journey are you real strength. Thanks to the Boss system, that allows to shuffle as many as you want in the Enemies deck, the game mechanics are flexible, enjoyable both by gamers and more casual players. Knowing about One Piece isn't necessary to enjoy the game, but if you do you will notice some "details" in character abilities that will make happy every fan of the series. -description from designer
