Pile pirates onto a treasure ship and hope nobody outguns you before it sails.
Who it's for
Larger groups who want a fast, mean card game with plenty of table talk.
Not for you ifβ¦
You dislike direct conflict or being ganged up on. There is little to build here, just repeated small fights.
Vibe's take
Quick, punchy back-and-forth where the ship you were sure of gets snatched on the last possible turn.
A merchant ship sails out with a pile of gold on board, and everyone's pirates pile on. You attack with coloured pirate cards, others attack in different colours, and whoever has the strongest colour when the dust settles takes the ship. Captains double a colour's strength, and the admiral can flip an attack on its head.
