About this game
Sky pirates clash over island loot using identical crews, but the order you play them makes all the difference. Each day, everyone simultaneously reveals one crew member from their hand, and the resulting pecking order determines who grabs what treasure. Forty unique characters per player create wild combos and nasty surprises. The revised 2022 edition adds gorgeous art, a reputation track for tiebreaking, and a robust solo mode to this beloved simultaneous-selection classic.
