Priate Theory

In Priate Theory (Pirate Theory with a deliberate misspelling), players are pirate captains dividing resources and plundering ships and treasures. At the end of game, the player with most treasures becomes the Pirate King.

In each round, players are going to divide several cards. One player make a suggestion of some cards that they should take as their share. Each other player can agree or disagree. The player who disagrees must cut the share, making it smaller. The TRICKY part is that the one who takes the share is the player who makes the last cut, not the player who makes the suggestion at first.

How do you get the cards you really want? How to cut a share with above average value and make others hard to cut? These problems are all parts of Priate Theory.

在《海盗大会》中，玩家扮演各大海盗船长瓜分物资、劫掠船只获得宝藏。游戏结束时获得宝藏最多的玩家成为海贼之王。
每一轮将有一些牌供玩家们瓜分。一名玩家提出自己想要的一份份额，其他玩家可以同意或不同意他的提案。不同意的玩家必须将这一份方案切小一些。有意思的是，方案中的牌将由最后做出切分的玩家而不是最初提出方案的玩家获得。
如何顺利得到自己想要的牌而不被人切走，如何切分大于平均价值的份额却使其他人难以下手，都成了一门学问。
