Ahoy, mateys! Time to grab your pirate hats and set sail! Ready to claim the bounty of a lifetime? Skull Queen is a trick-taking game in which you determine before the game starts whether you will win or lose tricks for every suit. The player who chooses wisely and outplays their opponents will be victorious. You're each the captain of a pirate ship, and your lookout has just spotted a ship full of bounty on the horizon. You need to line up your pirates so they are ready to board when you attack. Start by placing each Pirate on any one of the 5 spaces on your Plank. Once you've all played all your cards, for each Pirate you have on your Plank, you score the points shown on the space that Pirate is standing on. You play as many rounds as there are players. The player with the most points after the final round wins the game.
