Grog Island*
Even the most powerful pirates must eventually retire from their lives of plundering. On the five islands of Grog Island, they can invest their spoils into solid businesses like peg leg shops, figurehead carpentries, voodoo doll workshops, or the infamous "Grog Hole" tavern.
A unique auction mechanism drives gameplay, utilizing five colored dice. Players create and raise bids using these dice, with the auction winner claiming buildings on specific islands. Those who pass also benefit by receiving goods like bottles of Grog or treasure maps and can visit merchant ships to trade their goods for money or other rewards. The game ends when a player claims a set number of buildings, and players score points from their secret goal cards. The one with the most points wins.
