Letter of Marque

Players are captains trying to move five treasures across the sea using five ships, while only two ships may be armed with cannons. Each turn, players play cards to advance ships, arm them, or send pirate attacks against opponents’ unarmed vessels. The game centers on bluffing and deduction as players conceal which ships are armed and when they intend to attack or protect. Rounds resolve with simple card mechanics and reveal moves, forcing players to read opponents and manage risk to get their treasures across first.
