Adventure and riches await any swashbuckler brave enough to take the helm and take command of a fleet. Wage war against rival captains. Construct and upgrade your ships with masts and cannons to increase speed and firepower. Conquer islands and exploit the land to obtain valuable resources. Navigate the dangerous waters and avoid the ever-wandering storm. Are you ruthless enough to win? Do you seek infamy and gold? If ruling the seas is your ambition, it’s time to unleash your inner pirate. It’s time to plunder!

Plunder: A Pirate's Life is a competitive, strategy-based gateway game played atop a modular ocean map. The aim is to gain ten Plunder Points. Plunder points are collected by conquering islands, sinking enemy ships, and burying treasure. On your turn, take one Resource card for each island you own. Trade and manage your resources (wood, iron, rum, gold) to construct and upgrade your fleet using miniatures and pegs. Ships will sail the open map via roll and move. Fight enemy ships and conquer islands via dice combat. The game also features team play.
