Ambitious pirates sail the Caribbean over three voyages to amass treasure and retire as the richest legend on the high seas.

Gameplay

To score the most wealth, you move your ship port to port, roll dice, and play multi-use cards to hire crew, load cargo, explore, and raid for treasure. The tension is timing your route and upgrades while rivals race ahead and key opportunities disappear.
