Description

The Kaiser's Pirates is a gripping adventure on the high seas set during World War One, where players control German converted commerce-raiders and light cruisers. With air patrols still in their infancy, it's easy to disappear into the vast expanses of the high seas and re-emerge to attack unsuspecting Allied and neutral merchantmen. Players use their raiders to sink or capture as many merchantmen as possible, all while avoiding danger from British hunters. In this unique game, each player commands both German and British forces, scouring the sea-lanes for their next prize. The game can be played with one to four players, and even includes a solitaire game system for those looking to play alone or sharpen their strategies. With easy-to-learn rules and a playtime of 90 minutes, The Kaiser's Pirates is an exciting and challenging game that's perfect for fans of nautical and wargames.
