A 2 Player abstraction of a Ship Battling game using a standard 52 Poker Card Deck of Cards. Poker Hands are resolved as 3-Card Poker. Playable with Optional Rules which bring the game to a whole nother level! Played on a 3x3 Seamap grid, Players, otherwise known as Captains, place Cards down as Ships, called Card Ships, and use combinations of Poker Hands as attack and defence. Captains proceed in this tug-of-war like fashion, until they occupy all Enemy Seaport Seazones, which refer to their initial deployment zones. If should there be a tiebreaker, the side with more occupied Enemy Seazones wins, while if there is a further tie, the side with the most Cards in Hand is the winner. If there is still a tie, the side with the better Hand, for instance a Flush against a Straight, wins. Although it is true that this is a game that can be played with just a pack of Poker Cards, if you do buy and support my cause, you will get a custom playmat for the 3x3 Seamap grid, a funky anchor as an Active Player Token, that you use to point in the direction of the active player, and custom art for the 56 Cards, including Jokers, that are shaped and drawn in a way that allows you to determine easily which direction your naval fleet is facing, and thus bookkeep for you information that are harder and clumsier to take note of otherwise. —description from the designer
