As a lone player, you'll be pitted against two ghostly AI opponents, a ghost crew, in a battle to score the most card points. But beware, the game is full of twists and turns, including special Rat cards that can infest your hand and devour your highest cards, and powerful Pirate cards that can win almost any trick.
