What It's About
Yo-Ho-Ho and a Barrel of Fun! Set sail for an exciting adventure of strategy and skullduggery in this captivating card game. Storm your opponents' merchant ships and seize valuable treasure. But watch your back, matey — plundering pirates are out to capture your ships as well! The player with the most loot rules the high seas.
We’ve talked about making a pirate-themed game for years but wanted to wait until the right one came along. From the moment we first played Loot, we knew we found our buried treasure! Renown game inventor Reiner Knizia has created a highly clever card game that is at once simple to learn and fast to play, while engaging those looking for strategic challenge. We’re particularly fond of the team play version, where you and a partner get to look at each other’s cards and conspire moves. We find that the game’s even more fun when everyone talks in pirate accents when playing. Give it at try and you’ll be hooked!
Reinforces strategic thinking.
