Merchants, pirates, and navy ships sail the seas.You have a small fleet of ships at your disposal to allow you to amass a fortune.
The merchants deliver goods from port to port, and the pirates try to intercept them, before burying their ill-gotten booty. The pirates try to avoid the navy ships, controlled by all players, which intend to sink them.A fluid and dynamic game.
A card played at the beginning of the turn gives the movement for all of your ships. Each turn is fast and any action is instantaneous.
The fortune cards and the abilities of your fleet allow you to create powerful and varied combinations each game.Pay the Governor’s daughter’s ransom to win!
Players continue to make deliveries and launch boarding parties at a frenzied pace to win ever more doubloons and develop their fleets through new powers.
When all these developments have been acquired, it’s time to free the Governor’s daughter and trigger the end of the game.
This pretty much sums up the game and I would not add more to this so here is what I think of the actual gameplay itself:
First off, love the board, the colours and the details are very cartoony and nice to look at. The ships are a tad dull and I could see some people out there painting them but leaving something original since you need to know which ship belongs to whom. There are actual coins in the game (metal) and they are nice.
This game is very cutthroat because you always try to send your pirates after your opponent's merchants and send the navy ships after your opponent's pirates. You have cards that alter the movements that you do each turn and the development cards have really nice bonusses on them as well that make it harder for other players to win the game. There is good replayability with this game because since you play up to four players and the game gives you 6 of each development card, which in turn are all different, you never know what you will have nor what other players will have as their advantage until the debt is paid.
I really enjoy this game and there isn't much more to say so I gives this game 5 out 5 ahoys!
