Summary: Play with kids
Comment: I play this game with my 10 and 12 year olds. They both enjoy it. Goes quickly, so you don't get bored. If you want a quick game of something, this is it. Enough luck that anyone can win, but some skill involved so you can influence the outcome with playing skill.

Summary: Loot - worth the loot
Comment: My kids and their grandpa LOVE this game. They make the pirate voices and have a ball. It's a game of strategy but it doesn't drag on and on. Kids can learn this around 7 years of age. Mine haven't gotten tired of it after 2 years. We're a big fan of Gamewright and this is one of our faves. Also check out Sleeping Queens for the younger ones, helps with math and Wig Out which is just fast and furious fun.

Summary: Great family game
Comment: We've had this game for our family for a few years and we play it regularly with the kids. We all love to play... it's a blast! It's easy to learn and teaches the kids some strategy skills. We brought it on a vacation when our nephews were along and they became addicted to it, so we bought them one for Christmas. They love the game. Great for kids who love the pirate theme.

Summary: A great premis, but even more fun when played as teams rather than as individuals
Comment: Ever want to be a pirate, sail the seas, and collect gold by attacking unwary merchant ships? Well, mateys, this is your chance!

This is a fun card game where up to 8 players can be competing pirate captains fighting each other for merchant ships carrying cargoes worth between 2 and 8 pieces of gold. You have to decide whether to use your pirate ship cards to attack merchant ships worth more pieces of gold, knowing that other pirates will do likewise, or to use your pirate ships to attack merchants worth fewer pieces of gold, but which you are more likely to win.

When things get really tough, and if you are lucky enough to get one, you can play one of the four pirate captain cards in the game to capture a ship, or the sole admiral card to protect a merchant ship.

Individual play pits all players against each other, but success in that method of play seems to rely much more heavily on the group of cards you happen to draw than on any predictable strategy you may have. The team play version of this game, however, allows you to employ more devious and effective strategies, though the luck of the draw still comes into play.

This is a fun game that even younger children (our 9-yr-old does quite well) can enjoy with the rest of the family.

Once you play this game a time or two, especially using the team rules you'll see why it is a Mensa Select game.

One last thing, I find the cards themselves to be a bit flimsy, thus less than 5 stars for durability.

So, avast and ahoy! Try ye this game or face a walk on the plank!

5 stars for fun, but only 4 stars for the high degree of chance introduced by the luck of the draw, and for flimsy cards.

Have fun!

Comment: My huband is a sailor, so of course he had to have this pirate game. It is a game of strategy. Our 11 year old loves to play this game and usually beats me. This game is educational as it teaches thinking and strategic skills. Math skills are enhanced as well. This game is fun to play and easy to take with you as it is a card game. Love it!
