Description
Get ready to set sail for a swashbuckling adventure with Captain's Wager: The Maelstrom, an exciting expansion to the popular Captain's Wager game. Designed by Jonathan Hager and published in 2015, this game is perfect for 2 to 5 players looking for a thrilling experience that's easy to learn but challenging to master. With a playtime of just 20 to 40 minutes, you can dive into the world of pirates and high-stakes betting whenever you want. In Captain's Wager: The Maelstrom, a great storm is brewing, threatening to destroy your airship and leave you doomed to captain a ghost ship forever. With the new Haunt Mechanic, you'll need to manage your resources carefully to resist the rising haunt levels and avoid losing your loot. The expansion adds 4 new Crew Cards, 30 Haunt Cards, and 15 Treasure Cards to the mix, giving you more opportunities to bluff, bet, and push your luck. Will you take risks to win big or play it safe to avoid becoming a ghost ship? With its unique blend of betting, bluffing, and hand management, Captain's Wager: The Maelstrom is a must-play for fans of pirate-themed games and card games alike.
