Blackbeard

 'The Golden Age of Piracy!'

Board Game

BLACKBEARD:  Perhaps no period in history has been more widely romanticized in contemporary accounts than the Golden Age of Piracy near the turn of the 18th Century.  Like the gunmen of the Wild West, thier names have passed into legend forevermore and read like a veritable Rogue's Gallery of history's greatest villains.

Edward Teach (Blackbeard)...

Bartholomew Robers...

Long Ben Avery...

William Kidd...and a score more of the worst cutthroats to ever hoist a Jolly Rodger now sail the Spanish Main again in search of plunder and adventure.  A veritable cornucopia of sea faring lore is relived in every game of BLACKBEARD

A highly-informative game, BLACKBEARD puts to rest several myths about those who went "A-Pyrating", while relating the careers of another era's scoundrels who became infamous, yet were often admired by the common man for thier misdeeds.  Players work both sides of the law.  Each commands several historic Pirates plus King's Commissionsers-a form of sea-going bounty hunter sent out to bring them to thier final day of reckoning.  The pace is dictated by a Fast Action card system that brings merchants over the horizon to be plundered or ports to be raided and sacked.  If only it were so easy.  An ill wind can bring all manner of misfortune....warships, storms, hull rot, scurvy, or even mutiny among one's own crew.  A good Pirate needs to know when to make himself scarce and when it's wise to reward his mates with a little harmless fun.  Alas, a poor soul can't even find relief in a bottle without some scoundrel running ye thru amidst your debauchery and revelry.  Nor does it hurt to cross the right palm with some ill-gotten pieces-of-eight when it comes times to rest and refit.  No sirree...there's more to this Pyrating than simple swordplay and if you expect to avoid the gallows, you's best learn your lessons well for there are few winners in the Great Age of Piracy.!!
