Description
In Captain's Wager, you'll take on the role of a rogue pirate captain, sending your crew on adventures in search of treasure. But you're not the only one after the loot, and that's where the fun begins. This 30-minute game for 2-5 players combines classic poker elements with clever card play, as you gamble to win encounters and claim treasure. With a hand of crew cards, you'll try to outbid and outmaneuver your opponents, using card values and special abilities to get ahead. You can bet big to increase your reward, take a loan to stay in the game, or fold to avoid risking your gold. The goal is to collect the most gold and become the Pirate Admiral, and with easy-to-learn rules, you can dive right in and start playing.
