Brace yourself for a crazy pirate treasure hunt. Be ready to meet tactical penguins, boarding chicken, cheating octopus, and much more. Through your journey, you will find new pirates ready to join your crew, powerful pets allies and unexpected events or even monsters. Pets ’n’ Pirates is a strategic card game. Each player starts with a pirate captain and 3 adventure cards. The goal is to find the treasure card buried in the deck (or steal it from another pirate) and hold it up to the end of the game (when the last card is drawn from the deck) Every turn a player can look for the treasure in the main deck, spy on other players, attacking them, playing tricks, or all these actions combined. At the end of each turn, the player draws a card from the deck: it could be the treasure, a powerful adventure card to keep for the next turn, or an unexpected event that must be shared with all the other pirate. Easy peasy? Not really! A cursed pirate is hiding in the deck waiting to take the treasure away from you. -description from designer
