Description

[Edit] [History]

Captain your own pirate ship and explore the seas to Plunder other vessels and seek hidden treasure while avoiding storms, ghost ships and the dreaded kraken. An adventurous, fast-paced pirating escapade for the whole family!

Finally - the pirate game that gets it right! Plunder is the card game which combines the many elements of "euro-style" games, boyhood adventure, and actual history into a fast-paced escapade about the pirate's life!

- A big game in a little box: cards are laid out to form a different map-board each game. Combines the best features of card and board games.

- New mechanics for strategic randomization, with no dice. Each card has a number which may be played to add to different ratings.

- Multiple paths to victory: plunder ships, explore strange coast lands, and trade goods between ports.

- Combines history (actual nationalities, ports, and ships) with fantastical elements (from the dreaded kraken to the lure of mermaids).

All Plunder rules on two pages, written to remove ambiguities and vagueness. Building upon outstanding work by sodaklady, Topdecker, and (of course!) the Lepps, I've also scoured forums to find answers to tricky issues, and incorporated my best understanding of the rules into this document. I have taken one liberty, and that is to simplify setup a little. I was frustrated enough with the rules to rewrite them. I hope this rewrite helps you enjoy this excellent game from the very beginning.
