Description

In Blackbeard, you'll embark on a thrilling adventure as a pirate navigating the major sea lanes during the golden age of piracy. With one to four players, you'll take on the roles of famous pirates, seeking to amass a fortune and retire before the authorities catch up with you. The game is full of random happenstance, so be prepared to think on your feet and make the most of opportunities as they arise. As you move around the map, you'll have the chance to plunder merchant ships and accumulate a fleet of your own. But beware - you'll also have to evade the English military ships that are hot on your heels. With a mix of luck, skill, and cunning, you'll need to make shrewd choices to come out on top. Will you emerge as a wealthy and retired pirate, or will you meet a grisly end at the hands of the authorities or your own mutinous crew?
