Description
A Pirate’s Word: The Captain’s Orders is the perfect side‑kick for anyone who already loves the swash‑buckling chaos of the original A Pirate’s Word, and it’s so easy to jump in that even a cabin boy could explain the rules in a flash. Up to eight buccaneers can dive into 15‑30 minutes of high‑seas scheming, where sealed‑bid auctions, a sly Prisoner’s Dilemma twist, set‑collection loot, and a healthy dose of “take that” sabotage keep the table buzzing. The real fun comes from the bluff‑and‑negotiate vibe—players will be whispering, threatening, and bartering like true captains trying to outwit the crew. Designed by Mario Arze and released in 2025, this expansion adds fresh pirate flavor without slowing the game down, making every round feel like a frantic council of the damned where the cleverest captain walks away with the booty. Grab your hat, raise a grog, and let the mutiny begin.
