Captain your own pirate ship and explore the seas to Plunder other vessels and seek hidden treasure while avoiding storms, ghost ships and the dreaded kraken. An adventurous, fast-paced pirating escapade for the whole family! Finally - the pirate game that gets it right! Plunder is the card game which combines the many elements of "euro-style" games, boyhood adventure, and actual history into a fast-paced escapade about the pirate's life! - A big game in a little box: cards are laid out to form a different map-board each game. Combines the best features of card and board games. - New mechanics for strategic randomization, with no dice. Each card has a number which may be played to add to different ratings. - Multiple paths to victory: plunder ships, explore strange coast lands, and trade goods between ports. - Combines history (actual nationalities, ports, and ships) with fantastical elements (from the dreaded kraken to the lure of mermaids).
