Capt'n W. Kidd (2004)

About this game

The faux leather board represents a crow's nest view of a pirate ship. Each space connects with two other spaces. On a turn, a player can either place a pirate or move one. Movement can never be in the direction that the pirate has come from. If a pirate is able to land on another pirate, the second is beaten and removed from the game. A player unable to move any of his pirates loses.

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Works with 2 to 3.
• Rules load. At 2.0/5 this is a mid-weight game — expect a proper rules explanation before you start.
• Age. The publisher suggests 9 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
