Description Edit | History
"Pirate King is a new twist on classic game play. Seamlessly blending classic board game genres into one exciting adventure, players, or in this case Captains, sail around the Caribbean capturing territories and building fortifications while picking up crewmen and cannons for their ships as well as great mysterious treasures that aid in combat, movement, economics and even curses!

This is a game of economic management, property building, and naval combat. Victory can be achieved through force of arms, economics or a combination of the two. Why pay when you can fight? That’s the pirate way. But only the wise captain knows when the price of fighting is too high. It all depends on what kind of Captain you want to be on your way in becoming the Pirate King."

3 Western PA Geekfest Pirate King Local Rules
We've only played this a couple times and frankly, it's kind of weak. It has potential though. These are some of the Local Rules that we've been developing to try and improve it. If you use them and have any additional suggestions, feel free to send them along.

5 Flag Template
As inspired and requested by Ken (LFITQ) and thanks to help from Erik (unixrevolution), here is the "do it yourself" template for real pirate flags for use with Pirate King. Print on label paper, cut them out and affix them to the flags. There are 4 sets of each type of pirate flag for each color of flag in the game.
