The Last Bottle of Rum is a pirate board game for 2 to 5 players, where you play as a pirate looking to trade its treasures for the very last bottle of rum of the archipelago... Prepare to explore uncharted waters, plunder your enemies and avoid the Kraken! To win the game, a player will have to score the most victory points by digging up hidden treasures. Set sail and dig up golden relics, cursed chests and legendary dodo eggs. The first Captain to collect 10 booty points gets the last bottle of the archipelago and wins the game.
