The most terrible Pirate-cooks of the Seven Seas are in search of gourmet ingredients to compose their absurd recipes such as "Bucanieri all'Amatriciana" or "Paella di Drake allo Scorbuto". Move your ship over the islands, collect the ingredients and compose the recipes: are you ready for the challenge? A set collection game for 2-5 pirates. The board is composed of 12 islands (stacks of cards) and the players move their ship collecting ingredient (or special) cards. Every card you collect has a movement number (following turns) and an ingredient for your recipe (end of the game). The winner is the pirate with the most points (completed recipes) at the end of the game.
