Ahoy captains! Scourge of the Seas is a card-based game for 2-6 players of age 9+. Draw from the Land deck to visit taverns in search of pirates to join your crew, then set sail and fight the enemy ships and sea forts you find in the Caribbean Sea deck to grab loot and gain fame. But beware: terrible creatures lurk in the depths, waiting for reckless captains to get too close... If things start to go South, make sure to go back on land to fix your ship before it sinks! The first player to become famous wins... Who will become the Scourge of the Seas? And remember: You can’t blame Poseidon if you sink... Twice. —description from the designer
