Pirates

 

Each player commands a pirate ship with crew and cannons and tries to grab as many treasures as possible. Each player has a ship board which he equips with a maximum of 5 cannons or 5 pirates. In his turn a player with his 1st action can either move or attack and with the 2nd action either attack or repair, in exactly that sequence. A ship is moved depending on the number of pirates, treasures are unloaded in the harbour and are safe, dice according to the number of cannons are used to attack, numbers denote the locations of hits. Hits, defence and distribution of treasures follow exact rules, when repairing, locations on the ship can be manned again. When all treasures are looted from the fortresses the player with the most treasures wins, or the game ends when a player has a certain number of treasures depending on the number of players.
