Description

Get ready for a swashbuckling adventure with Jolly & Roger, a card game for two players. The infamous Pirate King, Captain Red Beard, has gone missing and it's up to you and your opponent to battle for his throne. With easy-to-learn rules, you'll be diving into the action in no time, using the I split, you choose mechanism to outmaneuver your opponent. You'll draw pirate cards, split them into sets, and try to board merchant ships by adding matching-colored crew members. The player with the most powerful crew on a ship gets to put their captain in charge and steal gold. After eight rounds, the game ends and the player with the most gold wins. With its short 20-minute playtime, Jolly & Roger is the perfect game for a quick pirate fix, and with its expert variant, you can add special cards like the Kraken and Skeleton Pirate to spice up the game.
