About the game
What you do in a play session
Over three thrilling rounds, the challenge is to be the smartest pirate, thwarting the plans of your rivals. How does it work? Each player starts with the same hand of crew cards. Each turn, you play a crew card from your hand, and the magic happens: the play order is determined by the cards' values. The player with the highest-value card usually acts first, but that's not always the best strategy!
Each crew member has a unique ability that can be activated at different phases of the turn: during the day, at dusk, or in the hideout phase. The key is to use these abilities at the right time to collect valuable loot, sabotage your opponents, or protect your own treasures. At the end of each round, you keep the treasures you've acquired, and at the end of the game, the captain with the most riches is the grand winner.
Libertalia is a game of deduction, hand management, and simultaneous action selection that will test your ability to bluff, plan, and adapt. Can you predict your opponents' moves and use your crew members more efficiently? Get ready for lots of interaction, twists, and the feeling of being a true pirate in search of glory and gold!
