solo/cooperative deck builder in a mint tin. Play cards to complete quests before you and the other pirates run out of morale in Pirate Cove. Players will plan to either attempt a quest solo, together, or not at all and stay at Pirate Cove. When attempting a quest, play cards to meet the quest requirements. If players take damage while questing, they will become stranded and lose morale. Any quests not completed in a turn, will have rumors of cursed quests by your crew. If you do not pay them off with the gold you earn from completing quests, you will lose morale. Lose all your morale and you lose the game. During the game you will earn gold from quests to spend on upgrades to your ship and hiring crew member cards. Upgrades to your ship give you a permanent ability while adding cards to your deck. Crew member cards go right into your deck and have abilities you can use when you draw them. Become the pirate legend by completing all the quests, maintaining the morale of your crew, and managing your gold correctly.
