Pirate King!
Players take the role of rival captains racing across seven rounds to build the strongest deck and score the most victory points. Each player selects a captain and starter deck while a shared market and monster lineup sit in the center. Players simultaneously reveal cards from their decks one by one, choosing each turn whether to press their luck or stop before curses (skull cards) accumulate. Revealed resources like gold and swords buy market cards or are used to defeat monsters, which grant points and special abilities. Revealing three skulls in a round destroys that round’s gains and drops the player to last position. After seven rounds, the highest-scoring captain wins the title.
