Description

Pirate King is a thrilling adventure game where 2 to 4 players take on the roles of pirate captains, sailing around the Caribbean in a quest to become the ultimate Pirate King. With easy-to-learn rules, players can dive right into the action, navigating the high seas and making strategic decisions to outmaneuver their opponents. The game is all about balance and skill, as players choose how far to move each turn, rolling a d12 to determine their progress - a good roll can make all the difference, while a bad one can leave you overshooting or undershooting your target. As players explore the Caribbean, they'll encounter various territories to capture, ports to dock at, and treasures to discover. The game is full of unexpected twists and turns, with cards that can either help or hinder progress, and opportunities to defeat the Commodore or accumulate Great Treasures. With a playtime of around 120 minutes, Pirate King offers a fun and immersive experience that's perfect for fans of adventure, economic, and nautical themes. First published in 2006 by designer Flaster Siskin, this base game has stood the test of time, offering a unique blend of territory building, strategy, and pirate-themed excitement that's sure to delight players of all ages.
