From BoardGameGeek
Blackbeard's Lost Fleet combines deck-building, worker placement and subtle area control mechanics. Players expand their card decks with more Loyal Pirates, and then send them on missions using pirate fast ships. And all this with the aim of inciting rebellion and taking over the ships of Blackbeard's lost fleet, or finding the location where his legendary treasure is hidden. Not to forget that what counts among pirates is the fame and support of the Flying Gang, which chooses who will rule Nassau. Decks of pirate companions allow players to send their men to specific places. Some cards give you the ability to get something immediately, while others give you the ability to perform an action specific to a particular pirate. Cards can be acquired for their decks, as well as discarding those that the Player deems unnecessary. In addition, most cards can be used in several ways. Taking over specific ships of Blackbeard's fleet not only gives the Player more support from his pirate brethren, but also provides constant bonuses during the game. Who wins? The one with the largest fleet, the one supported by the majority of pirates, or the one who finds Blackbeard's legendary treasure first? The game is language independent. There is only iconography on the cards and boards. -description from the publisher
