Three Cards

From BoardGameGeek:

In Three Cards, strategic actions play out in order as coins jingle, cards grow stronger, and Victory Points pile up higher than your waving flag. Score the biggest and sail off into legend in this forgotten pirate game. The game is played in 12 rounds with 3–5 players or in 9 rounds with 2 players. Each round, players select one card from their hand and reveal them at the same time. The actions are then resolved in priority order to purchase new, more powerful cards, gain coins, or score Victory Points (VP). The player with the most VP at the end of the game wins! -description from the publisher
