Oh Captain!

Players take on the roles of adventurers who explore a monster’s hidden cave and bring back loot to an appointed Captain. On a turn, an adventurer draws loot cards and offers them to the Captain, making a verbal claim about their contents that may be truthful or deceptive; some cursed items cannot be revealed at all. The Captain accepts or rejects offers; rejected offers may be used offensively against other adventurers, prompting opportunities to call a bluff and resolve disputes with coin exchanges. The Captain role can change hands if another player accumulates more wealth, and the game ends with the richest adventurer declared the winner.
