Cutthroat Captains

You’re vying to become the “Most Dreaded” Captain of the seas. Dread points are earned by spending booty at ports and by returning alive. For each Dread point earned, gain 1 jewel. Each Captain commands five pirates. When pirates meet up in the seas, they form a crew (place your pirate on top). Any time a pirate sets sail, he takes his crew with him (any piece above in the stack). Sailing into a Whirlpools flips the stack. Gather cards to control the winds and the seas. Scoring: 1. Earn Dread Points by spending treasure at port on supplies, rum, and entertainment. 2. When crossing the scoring line, the pirate’s stack that is crossing receives 1 Dread Point per piece in his or her stack. Other pirates along for the ride receive 1 point per piece of their own. The first pirate to earn 10 Dread Points wins, and is the most dreaded Cutthroat Captain. —description from the designer
