📖 About This Game
You are the captain of your own ship. Equipped only with your wits and what you've managed to round up from your home port, you're about to embark on your quest for fortune. Not only will you have to navigate dangerous seas, you will have to deal with other captains searching for their own fortune. Can you outwit your rival captains and brave the constantly changing seas to become the last pirate sailing with a Shipload o'Gold?
Shipload o' Gold is a pirate themed heavy interaction coin management game. The entire point of the game is to be the last pirate with coins, a condition that wins the game as soon as it occurs. There are two decks, the "action deck" which contains cards players can use to their benefit or their opponenets demise. The second "weather deck" is working against everyone collectively to move coins, take coins, and force players to discard cards randomly.
