Ready to hoist the colors and sail the seven seas in search of glory and treasure? In Tiny Epic Pirates, you take command of a pirate ship, with the mission of becoming a legend and burying a fortune in secret island hideaways. This game, lasting about 45 minutes and playable by 1 to 4 people, is a high-seas adventure that blends a variable rondel action system with action comboing that will leave you grinning from ear to ear (or with an eye-patch, if you prefer!). Each turn, you move your captain around your ship's action wheel, choosing what to do: plunder settlements for a 'reasonable' rate (with a blunderbuss at the ready, of course!), trade your ill-gotten goods at the Black Market (timing is everything to avoid selling for a pittance!), recruit new crew members to strengthen your ship and unlock abilities, attack merchant ships or other pirates to boost your reputation and collect more booty, or search the seas for lost treasures. Each player has a unique and randomized arrangement of these actions on their rondel, ensuring every game is a fresh voyage. And the best part? Sailing is something you can do with every action! The game concludes once a player successfully buries three treasures. To do this, you'll need to accumulate the required gold and find the burial spots on the map. After all players have had an equal number of turns, the pirate with the most buried treasures is the grand victor. In case of a tie, the living legend with the highest status and most gold takes the prize. Prepare for plenty of strategy, a dash of dice luck, and the thrill of being the most feared pirate in Tiny Epic Pirates! ## FAQ ### How many players can play Tiny Epic Pirates?
