Rainbow Pirates

Players build colorful treasure sets on their own island to score Treasure Points by placing matching card groups and arranging cards between hand and island. Pirate cards let players attack opponents by stealing or destroying treasure, or grant special advantages; attacks can be blocked off-turn by discarding matching Color Cards, which prevents the attack but forfeits the blocked card’s points. Turns consist of placing sets for points, rearranging cards, and playing pirate actions. The game ends when a player goes out (hand empty and at least two full rainbows on their island) or when the draw pile is exhausted. Rare rainbow cards score high and often drive player conflict and strategy.
