—description from the publisher
In Space Pirates the players are pirating astronauts who each turn roll a special die to determine their next destination. Reaching a yet unexplored planet is rewarded by a special treasure.
Each treasure may have a hidden special bonus action, which help the players navigate to harder-to-reach planets, evade asteroid fields, or even give an advantage in case of a fight when a meeting another pirate.
The game ends when all treasures are found, the player with the most treasure being the winner.
