Skullduggery, created and illustrated by Allegra Vernon, Outset Media's Creative Director is a children's board game, teaching basic logic and strategy. The pirate-themed game is played on a tiled board, with tokens representing the players. The game uses pirates and gemstones as enemies to create obstacles, which lends to its name, Skullduggery. Each player works to uncover four landmarks in order to complete a treasure map and race to the treasure. The tile game was manufactured by Outset Media, the same company that distributes Qwirkle, another tile-based game, that also won a Mensa Select Mind Game Award in 2007.
