Word Pirates! (2008)

About this game

Build bridges, acquire land and block your way to the pirates’ treasure, matey! Players roll letter dice to build bridges of words and use rock walls to block their enemies’ paths all in an effort to make their way across shark infested waters in order to be the first one to reach the pirate loot.

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Works with 2 to 4.
• Rules load. At 1.0/5 this is a light game — explain it in a few minutes, good for a table that has not played much.
• Age. The publisher suggests 6 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
