Description

Corsairs is a thrilling pirate-themed game for 2 to 4 players that's all about assembling the right combination of provisions to board and claim galleys. With a playtime of 60 minutes, it's a great way to spend an evening with friends, and the easy-to-learn rules make it accessible to everyone. The game comes with 30 galley tiles, each with its own requirements for provisions and a victory point value, so you'll need to strategize and manage your hand of cards carefully to come out on top. On each turn, you'll play three cards, either adding to your provisions, rummaging through the discard pile for new cards, or firing a broadside to steal from your opponents. As you collect the right provisions, you can attempt to board a galley, using your corsair cards and a dice roll to beat the boarding value. But be warned, other players can try to board the same galley, and only the player with the highest boarding value will claim it. With its unique blend of hand management, dice rolling, and area majority mechanics, Corsairs is a fun and challenging game that's sure to delight fans of pirate-themed games and competitive strategy.
