## Description
In Extraordinary Adventures: Pirates!, you're a pirate captain commanding three ships across the Caribbean, hunting for treasure and glory. Each ship follows a different route, and your goal is to be the first to reach the legendary Spanish Treasure Galleon. But it's not just a race: along the way, you can plunder merchant ships for resources or dock at ports to recruit more crew and improve your card deck. Here's the catch: your cards determine how you move and what advantages you gain. The better your deck, the more efficient your fleet becomes. But beware – focusing only on plundering might let your rivals get ahead in the treasure race. In the end, the pirate with the biggest fortune (and who arrives first) is crowned King of Pirates! The game blends deck-building, route strategy, and a bit of luck – all wrapped in an immersive pirate theme that makes you smell the gunpowder and hear the waves crashing.

## FAQ
### How many players can join?
2 to 6 pirate captains can play, but it gets more chaotic (and fun) with more people.

### What's the average game length?
About 45-60 minutes – enough time for several plunders but not long enough to overstay its welcome.

### Is it hard to learn?
Medium weight (2.17/5 on BGG). Rules are straightforward, but strategy has its nuances.

### Does it require translation?
Yes, the game has significant card text. Without translation, it's tough to play.

### Is it good for players who dislike luck in games?
There's luck, but strategic decisions matter more. If you hate any randomness, this might not be for you.
