League of Pirates (2006)

About this game

Two players compete to place the best pirates on their respective ships as they "recruit", "press gang" and "raid" for the pirates they need. The game comes with over 40 unique and beautifully illustrated pirate coins suitable for collecting. Thematically linked to the "Dread Pirate" and "Dread Pirate: Buccaneer's Revenge" games.

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Strictly 2 players — no more, no fewer.
• Rules load. At 1.4/5 this is a light game — explain it in a few minutes, good for a table that has not played much.
• Age. The publisher suggests 8 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
