BUCCANEER

All hell is loose near the port. Many of the pirates are casting jealous glances at the riches in the large trading ships which lie at anchor. And so plans are being made to get the lucrative booty.
The motley teams are quickly put together and it is decided which ships are to be relieved of their treasures and ducats.
But even the strongest captain must take care, as each pirate wants a proper wage for his work. If the booty is too small and the pay too high, the captain will have to pay his team out of his own pocket and that may cost him victory at the end.

PIRATEOLOGY THE GAME

Ahoy Matey! Dare you leave the safe haven of your port and set sail for the adventures of the high seas? Steer your way through the islands as you attempt to search for treasure. Beware of danger though, as you must avoid nefarious  marauders, treacherous sea monsters, horrible hurricanes, and the infamous black spot. You must try to set sail with the wind on your back, as speed is your friend as you venture from island to island to bury your treasure. The compass spinner will decide the wind direction and the dice determine the amount of spaces you will travel. If you decide to go with the wind, you can double the amount of spaces you travel, thus having the advantage of speed. Once you draw a crew card from the skull card deck, you gain a ship which allows you to roll with two dice, rather than only one. The Skull cards consist of 70 cards divided among nine different categories, some of which will help you and some that may lead to your demise.  Only the swiftest, shrewdest, and most daring pirate will be the last one standing! Savvy?

5 Pirate Character Playing Pieces

PIRATES OF THE BARBARY COAST GAME PACK

For over 400 years, the Pirates of the Barbary Coast terrorized the shipping lanes of the Mediterranean capturing vessels and taking crews for slaves or ransom.  Under the protection of the sultan, these pirates were largely unopposed with the nations of Europe paying tribute instead of fighting.  Even the new American nation was not immune to their piracy and as a result declared war on this group of scalawags.  This history sets a flavorful backdrop to the Pirates world.

Pirates of the Barbary Coast is a fast-paced constructible game of pillaged loot, capturing ships and ransoming crews. This collectible game follows up on the successful WizKids franchises Pirates of the Spanish Main, Pirates of the Crimson Coast, and Pirates of the Revolution. Packaged like a collectible card game, each game pack includes everything one person needs to play including plastic cards that are punched apart to construct highly detailed mini 3-D sailing ships. Players choose a faction (Barbary Corsair, Pirate, Spanish, French, British or American), build their fleet, seek their fortunes, and vie for naval supremacy.  Will you secure the treasure and bring it home, or will you be boarded and end your days as an oarsman on a pirate ship.  Play Pirates of the Barbary Coast to determine your fate. 

Each game pack contains everything needs to play, though additional packs will provide more play options through additional ships, islands, crew and treasure. Experienced players will find new crew types (Smokepot and Stinkpot Specialists), a fully developed Barbary Corsair faction, and the addition of a new ship type, the galley (pictured). New players do not need any past experience, rules, or pieces from either the original Pirates of the Spanish Main, Pirates of the Crimson Coast, or Pirates of the Rebellion.  Pirates of the Barbary Coast adds 68 new ships to the Pirates family as well as a score of new treasure, crew, and islands--however the fleet building and treasure hoarding strategies are endless. Ships vary in length from 2" to 4" and in height from 2" to 3".

2 assorted ships
