Piraten-Abenteuer

FROM Corsaro TO Corsalito

Piraten-Abenteuer, one of the games in the series Ökoo – ecological and cooperative – is also a revised new edition of one of the cooperative games that were originally published by Herder Verlag; the names of the islands in the game are a cute allusion to the original name of the game, Corsaro.

Players are seafarers and must manage to get around the island before the Black Pirate catches them. The boats start in the harbor of Corsaro. You roll the dice and use one to move your own boat, the other to move a pirate ship. Boats may overtake each other. When a boat and a pirate ship meet, even in passing, the boat has been caught by the pirate and is put on the Pirate’s island. When one of the boats reaches one of the rocks it sets free another boat from the Pirate’s Island. When all boats reach the island of Corsalito, all players have won together.

Experienced seafarers play with two or three boats for each player and decide which boat to move; again all boats must reach the harbor. In the version “big adventure” each player has three boats and five provision cards. If you move into a hideout you must discard a provision card, and you cannot use a hideout without such a card. When boats of different players meet you can hand over provisions cards. To free a boat of another player from the Pirate’s Islands also demands discarding of a provision card, you own boat is freed without use of a provision card.

Piraten-Abenteuer is a beautiful game training cooperation and planning while providing lots of fun and a real challenge with the „big adventure“, together with lovely design and nice details.
