Dread pirate game directions

It involves high sea adventure, searching for treasures, and plundering fun! The box, pieces, and board for this game are all amazing! The game pieces are large cast Pirate Ships. These are awesome to move around the gridded cloth game board which looks like an aged, real life, treasure map! To begin, each player chooses a Pirate Ship, a home port land on the map, a color of jewels, and velvet treasure bag.

Players place their ships on their home port space, which is the anchor icon in front of their chosen corner. Next, players will place 10 jewels of their color in their treasure bag, and another 12 jewels on their home port X marks the spot!

Players will also then select 10 gold doubloons which are heavy cast and incredible pieces too and add them to their treasure bags as well. The rest of the gold doubloons will go onto the X of Dread Island, which is one of the central islands on the game board. Play remains though! The object of the game, of course, since players are pirates, is to collect the most treasure by the end of the game! This is accomplished by sailing across the ocean, via rolls of dice, and battling other pirates to be named the Ultimate Dread Pirate, and winner.

To collect the most treasures, Pirates can have Skirmishes, conduct Raids, or Trade. They can also visit Dread Island! The name Dread Pirate for the game relates to this island at the center of the board.

Once a Pirate has collected one of each of the four colored treasures Players start with only 10 of their own color at their port , they can land on Dread Island and roll for FREE treasures.
