Guns or Treasure

Players secretly assemble a fleet by laying out a fixed number of cards that add guns, treasure, or bombs to their ships. On each turn a player chooses to attack another player’s ship or retreat; successful attacks capture treasure from both ships, while defended ships and hidden bombs can turn the tide. Bluffing and risk assessment drive decisions as players try to maximize collected treasure. Rounds are quick and portable, with straightforward card resolution and repeated plays determining the highest-scoring pirate.
