About the Game

The Captain is dead, the ship’s on fire (figuratively… mostly), and you’re the one everyone’s looking at. The Captain is Dead is a tense, fast-moving Board strategy game where you manage a ragtag crew trying to keep a starship alive long enough to escape. It’s the digital adaptation from Thunderbox Entertainment Ltd., and it captures that “everything’s going wrong at once” feeling in the best way.

Game Features

  • Command a desperate crew: Take charge of specialists with wildly different talents—an Admiral who’s great at planning, a Cyborg who shrugs off weird space hazards, a Chief Engineer who can patch things up in a snap, a Soldier who deals with boarders, a Counselor who tweaks skill checks, and more.

  • A ship full of hotspots: Bounce between the Bridge, Engineering, Science Lab, and the rest. Repair shields, research strange anomalies, reboot systems, and keep the lights on while the situation gets spicier.

  • Tools and toys that matter: Hit the Armory to arm auto-turrets and fire torpedoes, crack open the Cargo Hold for gadgets, juice up abilities in the CPU Core, and get battered crew back on their feet in the Infirmary.

  • Smart, escalating pressure: Aliens attack, systems fail, and priorities shift every turn. Do you fix the scanners, repel boarders, or buy time with emergency plans in the War Room?

  • One goal: get out alive: Keep the crew breathing long enough to repair the Jump Core and punch it to safety—whatever faster-than-light flavor you prefer.

  • Built for quick, replayable runs: Different roles and event combos keep every attempt fresh, whether you’re cautious or chaotic.

  • Play comfortably on PC: Prefer keyboard and mouse? Run The Captain is Dead on your computer with BlueStacks and manage the crisis with a bit more breathing room.

Slay your opponents with your epic moves. Play it your way on BlueStacks and dominate the battlefield.
