About the game
What you do in a play session
Mastermind Alexander Pfister designed a game that's pure fun and now features brand-new illustrations by Klemens Franz. The Big Box not only brings everything together in one place but also enhances the overall experience. The 'Just One More Contract...' expansion adds more rules, new allies, and opens up possibilities for cooperative or solo play. Meanwhile, 'The Adventure Begins…' introduces a campaign mode that can be enjoyed in both competitive and cooperative settings. So, there's something for everyone!
In Port Royal, you'll flip cards to recruit the right crew and gather supplies, fulfill lucrative contracts, and, of course, dodge dreaded pirates. Each round, you decide how far to push your luck: closer to victory or closer to defeat? The 'push your luck' mechanic is the heart of the game, keeping you on the edge of your seat. And the best part? You can play it solo, as a duo, with a group, or even in a campaign mode. It's a card game with economic and nautical elements, perfect for those who enjoy straightforward strategy with high replayability. If you're looking for a game with low language dependency that appeals to both newcomers and veterans, this collection is for you!
