Ron Gilbert, creator of Monkey Island and The Cave, is about to launch the previously announced Scurvy Scallywags game for iOS platform.

Developed by Ron Gilbert and Clayton Kauzlaric (Voodoo Vince), Scurvy Scallywags is a match-3 / RPG mash-up in the Puzzle Quest tradition.

Players will be able to move their pirate around the board by matching 3 or more tiles. As players successfully complete more matches, the board shifts in the direction they swipe, so they can use strategy to line up their pirate with items they need or avoid enemies who are stronger.

Scurvy Scallywags features pirates, ships, loot and lots of gold. Players will be able to boost their stats, acquire special skills, complete side quests and tick off 50 hilarious GameCenter achievements.

The game is expected to arrive in the next few weeks for a price that will be announced closer to launch. Stay tuned for more updates on the matter.
