Dread Pirate: Buccaneer's Revenge (2006)

About this game

This rousing game of cut-throat action takes the best elements of Dread Pirate and throws in some new twists. Each player now partakes in specific missions which help him collect booty and navigate the treacherous seas. Action cards introduce a whole new series of pirate engagements and adventure.

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Works with 2 to 4.
• Rules load. At 2.1/5 this is a mid-weight game — expect a proper rules explanation before you start.
• Age. The publisher suggests 8 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
