Victual Brotherhood is threatening the Baltic Sea! Nine pirate ships enter the game of Riga in the Die Vitalienbrüder expansion and make it more expensive to build some of the building cards. You have to pay more every time you take a building with a pirate ship, but you gain additional victory points in the game end scoring for each ship you defeat. The problem is that pirates eliminate figures (knight, merchant) on your cards, too! Riga: Die Vitalienbrüder can used in games with up to six players.
