I was unaware of this title until I was sent a copy along with some other review materials. It reminded me of Guillotine or Sitting Ducks Gallery where players manage a queue of cards as a focus of play. In this case, players are secretly assigned several pirate captain cards and then take turns selecting from several action cards (drawn from a deck). Next a previously revealed event card is performed (typically granting pirates coins, damaging pirates, or moving coins around.) At the end of the game, the pirates are worth points equivalent to their coins. Bluffing is important as well since a player can accuse a pirate (once per game) of being owned by a specific player in order to steal half of that pirate's coins. As a two player game, I felt the game was too chaotic. In general, it is better to have one's pirates in the front but this isn't always easy to do nor is it preferred 100% of the time. I think the game would be even more chaotic with more players, but it would gain some depth of play as players would now have competition for making their accusations. In the end, I expect it isn't my style of game as it again seems to outstay its welcome for what it provides.

At first I was so excited that they decided to reboot this game, but then I was beyond disappointed that they took an innovative collectible constructible card game (i.e,, make 3d ships out of styrene cards) and then made it into a non-collectible card game. Talk about killing the franchise.

I was expecting a game where ships were maneuvering and boarding, cannons were shooting etc... Instead I founda deductive game ala Clue, it might be called Sherlock Holmes for what it is. Give a try to the original Pirates Constructible game instead.Want Neca Wizkids Heroclix Pirates of the Spanish Main - Card Game Discount?
