Pirates on the High Seas
A big cloth-mat pirate game for two kids: steer, shoot cannons, haul home the treasure.
Who it's for
Children from around six who love pirates and action. A good gift for siblings who play together.
Not for you if…
You want a thinking game for adults or you need more than two players.
Vibe's take
Boisterous and physical. Kids get excited by the cannons and the ships, while adults will mostly be helping with rules and tidying up. Skill and luck both matter.
About this game
Pirates on the High Seas is a Ravensburger action game for two, played on a huge cloth mat about a meter by a meter and a half. You each command a pirate ship with a steering wheel, sails and a pirate flag, and cannons stand ready to fire at the other side. The job is to steer well, aim and shoot with flair, and with a bit of luck bring the most valuable treasure chests back to your harbor. It is a physical game rather than a thinking game, so expect the winner to be the one with the steadier hands, not the better plan. Sized for kids from six, with a big wow factor when the box opens.
