Sea of Plunder

From Three Nail Games:

Sea of Plunder is a treasure hunting game in which you are a merchant ship sailing across the endless sea, racing to get to mysterious treasure islands while at the same time gathering goods from port cities,dodging pirates, getting pushed around by hurricanes, and stealing cargo from the other merchants/treasure hunters!

In Sea of Plunder you will attempt to use wise hand management to race your opponents to the elusive and very valuable treasure islands. Also swing by the port cities to pick up 4 different types of goods to score major points through set collection. Use your discard to direct the pirates into your opponents’ path, but don’t forget to choose what you discard carefully because your opponents might find the card tempting! Even when your competitors or unexpected event cards foil your plan, it is easy to make a new one with the help of magical compass tokens and multi-use cards!

Four things are taken into account for scoring at the end of the game.

Treasures – The players can gather treasures from the mysterious treasure islands throughout the game.

Goods – A second way is by collecting the unique goods that are produced at each of the port cities located on the 4 home islands. The goods are a set collection objective where you get more points for having multiple different types of goods. (this means that you have to travel to the multiple islands or trade with another merchant for them)

Magical Compasses – A player is also awarded points at the end of the game for each “magical compass” that they possess. All the players are given these through out the game but they can also gain these in trades from other players.

Debt – Each player is deducted points based on the amount of debt that they have gained throughout the game. A player will obtain debt any time that they come into contact with pirates and are unable to bribe them with a good. In this instance the pirates attach the ship and the player gains debt which represents the price that they had to pay for repairs
