Captain's Wager
Players take the roles of rogue airship captains sending pirate crews on adventures for treasure. When several crews pursue the same encounter, captains wager for the loot using betting, hand management, and card play. Each round, players receive four crew cards with values from 1 to 20. Cards are committed to encounters to compete for rewards, while their abilities provide additional actions. Players can bet to increase the payout, take a loan token to remain in the hand at a penalty, or fold to protect their gold. Treasures and items grant special abilities and gold; the captain with the most gold at the end becomes Pirate Admiral.
