Description

You start out as an unknown, unequipped, inexperienced and lonesome pirate with one mission: becoming the most notorious pirate and win the game.

You earn notoriety every time you triumph. To achieve this, you need to expand your treasure- hunting abilities and crew strength to conquer in battle. This is done by acquiring crew
members, items (like a pistol) and ship enhancements (like additional sails). There are also opportunities to trigger happenings and events your way. These assets come in the form of
pirate cards, which you lay next to your player board to visualise the expansion of your crew and ship. Then you will:

1.gather rumors that will enable you to unfold the location of treasures;
2.sail the seas with enough strength or speed to prevail in battle while hunting
treasures;
3.collect treasures by going ashore on islands that you know hide a treasure.

While treasure hunting you encounter ships of other players. Defeating them is a triumph that gains you notoriety. Defeating the ghost ship also gains you notoriety.

And then there is rum, a scarce resource that motivates
your crew into additional actions and special moves.

Will you lead your crew to triumphs and adventure the fastest
to become the most notorious pirate and win the game?
