This game plays almost exactly like UNO (it is actually closer to Crazy Eights). Even though the action cards differ a bit from those of UNO, they're strongly based on them. The game also includes one or more jokers. With a joker you may play an action of your choice. Another difference is that this game lacks the scoring mechanism which is included in UNO.

1:Pirates of the Caribbean:

2:Pirates of the Caribbean - Dead Man's Chest:

3:Pirates of the Caribbean - At World's End:

Sets 2 and 3 are identical, except for the Joker count (3 vs. 2).
Set 1 differs significantly in card distribution:
- numbers run from dedicated 1 thru 8 (instead of suited A/1..10)
- special cards are fewer, there are only 2 of each type (instead of 4, or 2 for +2/+4)
