THE GAME
PIRATINIES is a quick and light game that plays in 15-25 minutes for 2 to 5 players. In PIRATINIES, the players take the role of captains of a pirate crew with the goal of looting different locations and obtaining fame and wealth. The first player to reach the required victory points will be the winner of the game.
HOW TO PLAY
Each round is divided into two phases: Looting and Recruiting
Each player start with a crew of 4 starting pirates who allow the player to roll 4 red dice
In the Looting Phase, each player (in order) roll their dice and all players, at the same time, try to match the numbers in one of the four location cards (the skills of their crew can modify the dice)
The first player to do so must grab the Map and claim a location. If successful, the player get the victory points and coins indicated in the location card
When all players have played a turn, the Recruiting Phase begins. Each player, in order, can recruit a new pirate paying its cost and replace it with one of their current crew
New pirates have special skills and some give a blue or a purple dice. When a player roll, for example, 3 red and 1 blue dice, another player whose crew have 4 red dice can only use the red dice of the active player's roll, not the blue one
The Looting and Recruiting phases alternate until a player reach the required victory points to win the game
