Who it's for

Families with kids from about six who enjoy a bit of open piracy and don't mind swings of fortune.

Not for you if…

You dislike direct attacks or dice deciding your fate β€” both happen constantly here. There is very little to plan, and an unlucky run can leave a player with nothing for most of the game.

Vibe's take

Cheerful piracy with real bite β€” losing a full hold two spaces from harbour is exactly the kind of disaster kids love and adults grimace at.

About this game

A pirate race game with a magnetic twist: ships sail across the sea, dig up buried treasure and haul it back to harbour. Along the way you can ram, rob and sink each other β€” greed usually costs somebody their loot. Two to four players, about half an hour.
