Pirates? Pirates!

Pirates? Pirates! is a pirate survival RPG in which you captain a ship and crew on a dangerous voyage. Haunted by a powerful ghost, you make choices that shape a non-linear story and lead to one of two endings: glory or a curse.

Decisions and resources

You make decisions by dragging cards left or right. Each choice affects one or more of four resources: Crew, Ship, Treasury and Fame. Keep every bar between full and empty; if any resource reaches either extreme, you die and restart. Completing tasks unlocks more events and lets you collect valuable items.

The world and its dangers

The game includes over 60 unique characters, whose stories you can learn and whose requests you can help with or dismiss. More than 2,000 cards represent characters, events, items and islands. Crew members bring pirate humor through their behavior and remarks.

You explore islands for buried treasure, following directions on a pirate map to avoid jungle perils and traps. You can also duel other pirates and board their ships, fighting the crew and captain with a saber and guns to plunder the ship and take its gold.

Battles

Naval battles are turn-based: you command your ship to move and fire. When you board an enemy ship, close combat begins, where you use firearms and blades to defeat your opponents.
