In Stowaway players compete for treasures using their pirate crew. Whoever collects the most value in treasure wins.
The pirates and treasures are all represented as cards; a single set of treasures from the Broken Vase worth 1 point to the Gold Bars worth 10; and a set of pirates for each player from the 1 point Cabin Boy to the 10 point Captain, plus a stealthy Stowaway.
The treasures are revealed one at a time, then each player chooses one or more pirates to send after the treasure. All pirates are revealed at once, and the treasure goes to whoever has the greatest value of pirates.
It is a game of psychology, successfully predicting your opponents' moves, and remaining unpredictable yourself are the key to winning.
