About the game
What you do in a play session
On your turn, the excitement begins with rolling five dice. You have up to three chances to get the best combinations. If a die shows crossbones, it's locked – no crying over spilled rum, it cannot be re-rolled. But if luck is on your side, you can choose which dice to re-roll and which to keep.
After deciding, it's time to see what your roll yielded: did you get coins and cannons? Take from the bank, but remember to pay your share to the King. Coins and skulls? Time to steal from a fellow pirate! And if luck is truly with you, with coins on all dice, the King's treasure is all yours. But be careful: five skulls and you take everything from another player. If you roll five cannons, the game ends and you take the entire bank! Oh, and if luck turns sour, with three or more crossbones, or a non-scoring combination, you pay three coins to the King.
The game continues until all sixty coins from the bank are gone. Whoever has the most gold at the end is the richest pirate and the grand winner. King's Gold is an addictive blend of luck and strategy, where every dice roll is a decision and every decision can change the course of your pirate fortune. Get ready to laugh, cheer, and perhaps curse your friends' luck a little!
