Tortuga 1667

Players take the roles of Caribbean privateers in 1667, cooperating to board a Spanish galleon and capture its treasure while secretly plotting to keep the loot for themselves. Gameplay centers on player interaction, negotiation, and deduction: players use shared Event cards, limited-information actions to peek or reveal those events, and Vote cards to influence Attacks, Mutinies, and Brawls. Timing and location matter, since Vote cards have different effects depending on where a pawn sits, and revealing or forcing event cards can help or harm teams. Rounds are quick and driven by social maneuvering; success depends on discerning allies from foes and sharing information at the right moment.
