About the game
What you do in a play session
Get ready to set sail in "Roll Pirates," a game that throws you right into the boots of a pirate captain seeking glory and treasure! Each turn, you'll have a handful of D6 dice to use for various actions: upgrading your ship, training your crew, traveling through unknown seas, completing epic quests, and of course, collecting rum to celebrate victories (or drown sorrows!).
The goal is to chart the smartest route across the map, marking your journey and avoiding repeating paths. You start by choosing one of the available starting points for your adventure and use the dice to strengthen your vessel and your sailors, earning points that will help you navigate and explore. Upon reaching an adventure location, you'll need the right dice rolls to complete it successfully. The game lasts for 7 turns, and at the end, whoever has accumulated the most points from their travels and adventures will be crowned the greatest pirate of the seven seas!
With simple rules and quick playtime, "Roll Pirates" is perfect for those who enjoy the thrill of dice rolling combined with solid strategic planning. It's an invitation to an accessible and fun pirate adventure, ideal for playing anywhere, as it's a 'Print & Play' game.
