Pirate Loot: Base Set (2015)

About this game

Sail the seas! Recruit the best crew! Crush your foes and steal their loot! Can you plunder enough treasure to satisfy your scurvy crew before the other captains? In Pirate Loot, players take turns recruiting crew to join their ship, hoping to have the best possible crew when the ships finally set sail. Win the round to get your hands on the most valuable loot, but beware! Just because you claimed the loot does not mean you get to keep it! Pirate Loot is a fast paced parlor game of treasure and treachery for 2 to 4 players, created by veteran game designer Jason Bulmahn with art by Scott Kurtz and Dylan Meconis and graphic design by Mari Kolkowsky.

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Works with 2 to 4.
• Rules load. At 2.0/5 this is a mid-weight game — expect a proper rules explanation before you start.
• Age. The publisher suggests 13 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
