Chitter me timbers! You are a scurvy squirrel struggling to gather the best collection of nuts. You'll need to bury cards around the island and return for them later in the round. But beware, if you hide too much booty in one spot, it may not be there when you return! Pirate Tails is a set collection game in which players draw nut cards and choose which ones to score, which ones to reveal, and which ones to hide. At the end of each round, players will have the chance to raid nuts that have been hidden and hopefully add to their booty. At the end of three rounds, players score based on both the value and quantity of each type of nut that they were able to collect. -description from the publisher
