Captain Pirate (2009)

About this game

Captain's Pirate is a short and fast paced card game. Players work to set out on an expedition to retrieve buried treasure, but they can't do it alone. They need help from other players to gather a pirate crew. The captain may not be in charge for long as each player is always trying to double cross the others. Leadership and even teams are ever changing.

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Works with 4 to 7.
• Rules load. At 1.2/5 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.
