Sea of Clouds*

As the captain of a flying pirate ship, recruit a ruthless crew, gather relics, and unearth the finest rum by collecting shares of the loot. Players take turns claiming shares to gain rum, relics, items, and pirates, and engage in ship boarding actions when they fly close together, using the pirates they’ve recruited to win doubloons and plunder treasure.

On their turn, players secretly examine the first of three available loot shares and decide whether to take all cards or pass to see the next one. Strengths, bonuses, and penalties come into play during boarding actions every few rounds, leading to battles where pirates can gain rewards or loot. After 12 or 15 rounds, players calculate the total value of their doubloons and loot cards to determine the winner.
