Pirates of Maracaibo*
* 
Pirates of Maracaibo is a standalone game in the Maracaibo franchise that recasts the original’s beloved concepts in a more accessible rule set. Over three rounds you sail the Caribbean searching for the most valuable treasures, hiring crew, commandeering rival ships, and stashing your loot — aiming to retire as the richest pirate in history.
New players can jump straight in without knowing the original. You explore the shore, stockpile cargo, and ally with other ships before retiring to a secluded island. For 1–4 players ages 12+.
