## Description
Get ready for high-seas mayhem with Piratoons! In this frantic game, you and your friends will compete to build the most impressive pirate ship and plunder enviable treasures. Each round begins with a chest full of ship parts and equipment being revealed. That's when the chaos erupts: everyone rushes simultaneously to allocate their crew, trying to secure the best loot through bids. Whoever places more crew on an item gets the piece, but beware of ties, which nullify bids and open opportunities for clever steals! Afterward, whatever remains goes up for auction with the doubloons your crew has earned. Ship construction is a spatial puzzle where you try to fit the best parts to create the fastest, largest, or best-equipped vessel. Points are awarded for money, equipment, and of course, your epic ship. But watch out: sets of tiles and unfilled sections can cost you dearly! With a 15-second sand timer, the action is pure adrenaline and quick decisions. Piratoons is an explosive mix of dexterity auction, open drafting, and set collection, all wrapped up in a real-time experience that will keep everyone on their toes. The player with the most points after eight rounds is crowned the most feared pirate on the seven seas!
