Sail the high seas, attacking other pirates and plying your booty at exotic ports of call in your quest to become the first one to set foot on Dread Isle and become the new Dread Pirate. Explore the wild reaches of the high seas, dodging sharks, sea monsters and your fellow freebooters in your quest. Sink your opponents, and you can make them join you or walk the plank!

Combining a simple and intuitive set of rules with a stunningly designed game that comes with metal ships and coins, a cloth map/board, and a genuine pirate style treasure chest, Dread Pirate harkens back to the days when games where made to last. Throw in some inventive advanced rules that add nuances such as the effects of winds and chances for mutinies to spring up on board ship, and you have a game that could very easily become a must-have classic for years to come.
