In Rattaneer, players want to become boss of the mouse pirates, but to do so they must earn money, hire pirates, loot boats, then convert that loot to victory points. Each round, players secretly select where they want to take actions on the row of eleven tiles: the day laborer, the tavern, the docks, the water, and the looting ship. Whether you'll get to take all of those actions depends on what everyone else does, so choose wisely!
