About this game
The original 2012 Libertalia, before the Winds of Galecrest revision. Identical pirate crews compete for treasure across three campaigns. Each player starts with the same set of character cards, but the order you play them creates unique outcomes. When multiple pirates land on the same treasure, their rank determines who picks first and who gets stuck with cursed items. Bluffing about which character you will play next is the core tension. A simultaneous-selection classic that rewards reading your opponents.
