King's Gold

Players act as pirates trying to amass the most coins while skirting the King’s cut. On a turn, the active player rolls five custom dice up to three times, locking any die that shows a crossbones. Players may keep or re-roll the other dice between rolls to build scoring combinations. Different dice results trigger specific effects: take coins from the supply, steal from another player, transfer coins to the King’s pile, or claim entire piles depending on combinations (including all-five results). If a turn yields too many crossbones or a non-scoring result, the player must place coins into the King’s pile. The game ends when the central supply is exhausted; the player with the most coins wins.
