A competitive card game for 1-4 players ages 14+. Easy to learn and 20 minutes to play. 

Players race to collect sets of cards featuring vibrant, diverse, historical women pirate captains with special powers. Plunder, pillage, and raid from other players to take the largest pirate booty. Includes period ships, mermaid wild cards and a Kraken Attack.

How to Play:

Players start with eight cards each and the remaining deck forms the draw pile.

A turn consists of playing sets face up on the table. A set can be suited with at least three cards that must include a captain, crew, and a ship or another card in the suit. Then use the special power of the captain to plunder cards from other players. A set can be 3-of-a-kind such as 3 birds or 3 maps or 3 treasure chests. Match cards to sets of other players by suit or kind. Adventure cards keep the competition for pirate points lively. Mermaid is a wild card. Draw a card when you are done playing any sets, matches, or adventure cards then the turn is over.

Game play moves to the next player. All cards played score pirate points at the end of the game. The player with the most points wins.

Bonus 1-player Seaport Solitaire games included!
