Card game | Loot


A card game for 2 - 4 players.

This is a very easy game to learn and not too complicated to play, the perfect family game. The game itself does its best with four players and takes about 20 minutes to play.

You'll find yourself a successful merchant of a dubious character. Your goal is to ferry as much goods over the sea as possible while trying to pirate whatever boat in the water not your own. [And in the odd case that someone should dare, you might have to fight of pirates yourself]

I found out about Loot when browsing the internet for a entertaining easy and fun game. The mechanism seemed ridiculously easy but yet appealing, and it does have great reviews out there. Loot not being a very complicated game I figured it would get old pretty quick and hesitated... was it worth it? I woke up the next morning thinking, why don't I just make this myself?

I immediately set to it.

In my game you're transported in to the parallel universe of Pirates of the Caribbean. As a successful man of the east India trading company your worst fears are pirates, and rightly so because here be the worst scum of them all.


Each captain has of course his own crew, Tortuga being so close and all they consume more than half the deck and come in clusters of 4, 3, 2 and 1.


With a sea so teeming with thugs there are but one law man to help defend your fleet, and that would be [The now promoted] admiral Norrington.
