Each player holds a secret loyalty to the British or French and is trying to have the most treasure in their team's holds before the Spanish Armada arrives.
Use vote cards to attack the galleon for treasure, mutiny against selfish captains, or brawl against your fellow pirates.
Reveal event cards such as the Letter of Marque, Black Spot, or Albatross to maroon your enemies and to help your friends.
Be careful about who you decide to help - not all pirates claiming to share your loyalty can be trusted!
