The captain, fed up with his slack crew, decides to keep only two of them, and it’s up to you to prove you’re worth it by pushing your rivals off the plank while keeping your own pirates alive. Each round starts with players secretly stacking three of their ten action cards. Then, everyone reveals and plays the cards one by one, following the action queue, and nothing stops a plan from being thwarted by an opponent’s unexpected play. If you plan for your pirate to shove someone off on the third move, but they only see their teammates, they’ll still take a step forward. Skull cards are special: they stay on the table the next round, creating a “take that” effect that can turn the game. When two or fewer pirates remain aboard, the game ends and the owners of those pirates win. If everyone ends up in the drink, no one wins, except the sharks circling below. The game blends action‑queue, player‑elimination, and simultaneous‑action mechanics, creating a planning‑and‑surprise dynamic that keeps everyone on edge. The limited edition brings revised rules, new artwork by Felideus Bubastis, screen‑printed meeples, the Ghost Meeple mini‑expansion (with rules), and a 26‑card promo pack. The pack includes a summary card and five cards of each of the five player colors, giving each player 15 cards instead of the original 10. The extra cards – Skeleton Scallywag, Parlay, Ghost Pirate, and Dynamite – add more variety and tension to the game. The tin case provides extra protection and is a collector’s item for pirate and card game fans. ## FAQ ### How many players can play? 3 to 5 players. ### How long does a game last?
