Loot

 

25 merchant ships with differing gold value and 48 pirate ships in four different colours with different attack strength, played individually by 2-5 players and in teams when 6-8 are playing. Each player has 6 cards and either draws a card or plays a card. Aim of the game is to let a ship sail for one round to cash the ship load or to conquer opponent’s ships. To conquer a ship one has to have aimed the highest attack strength on a ship for one round. To join an attack one must use a colour that is not used in attack so far. The pirate in the attack colour wins any fight but that against the admiral who wins everything. Conquered ships and involved cards are laid out in front of a player. At the end of the game the gold coins on conquered cards minus ships in hands are counted, the highest total wins.
