Ruthless

Players recruit a pirate crew and build a personal deck of pirate and treasure cards to power attacks, card draw, and other effects. Each turn players play cards from hand, optionally buy new cards to add to their deck, and place newly acquired crew members face-up to use their immediate abilities. At the end of each round players arrange the face-up crew into poker-style combinations to resolve a sea battle; the strongest combination scores the most points. Play continues for a fixed number of rounds and the player with the most points at the end wins.
