Pirate Tricks

In a space controlled by the Lunar Orion Order, rival pirate captains compete to become the next leader of the Landor Syndicate. Players recruit crews, capture rival pirates, and collect treasure in a trick-taking game for 3–5 players. Each of the three hands begins with a revealed scoring card, followed by a deal of five cards and bidding for seven more. Players take tricks while managing pirate factions, some of which score positively or negatively. Hand objectives vary, requiring players to take many tricks, avoid them, or match a predicted total. After three hands, the player with the most treasure wins.
