Description

In Dead Man's Doubloons, you'll embark on a thrilling adventure as a pirate ship captain, racing to claim the treasures of a mysterious island. With 2 to 6 players, the competition is fierce, and you'll need to navigate treacherous reefs, skirmish with rival ships, and manage your resources carefully to emerge victorious. The game is easy to learn, but with a playtime of 45 minutes and normal complexity, it's engaging enough to keep you on your toes. As you search for treasure map fragments, gold doubloons, and precious jewels, you'll need to balance your actions, using dice rolling, hand management, and simultaneous action selection to outmaneuver your opponents. With variable player powers and a range of game mechanics, every game is unique, and only the savviest captain will claim the legendary treasure and be crowned the richest pirate.
