Description

Shiver Me Timbers is a strategic sandbox game set in the Golden Age of Piracy, where 2 to 4 players compete to become the most notorious pirate of their era. With a playtime of 90 to 150 minutes, this game designed by Michal Vitkovsky offers a thrilling experience that requires tactical planning and optimal use of available actions. Each game is unique, with five of ten vastly different victory conditions randomly revealed at the start. Players secretly choose their personal goals, then set up the modular board to support their hidden agenda. As they navigate the high seas, they'll engage in combat, trade, loot, and hunt for treasure, earning victory points for their achievements. The game ends when all five victory conditions are met, with a final scoring that rewards players for achieving their secret goals, and the player with the highest point total wins.
