Came across this interesting game on the KS site. Anybody here heard anything about this game? I've got a copy of the classic Pirateer game which we play frequently around my house.

Looks viable and I do like the artwork. A bonus is they've already achieved their KS goal.

I don't own any pirate board games, but I have friends who love the old 90s game, Pirateer? There are similarities, but I think Pirateer has been out of print for ages?

This one isn't due out until June of 2014, which we all know probably translates to Christmas of 2014? :wink:

You are correct the game is Pirateer, the old one from the 90's. I don't doubt it has been out of print for a while.

I think this will be a good family game or 'beer and pretzels' game. There's enough variety and replayability to make it viable. Besides, it pirates/privateers. . . . .:wink:

That's what I thought. Another game for the ever growing selection on the shelf. :beer:

When I was young I owned a Waddington's (Parker Bros) 'Buccaneer' game but this looks more complicated.

That was such a great game as a child!

I loved the rubies and diamonds and gold you had to ship back to your home port, really a brilliant fun game for kids..apparently first produced in 1938.

That is an awesome looking game. With a few exceptions I don't usually mind playing 'kids' games, and first produced in 1938!? Nice.
