Merchants & Marauders: The Quintessential Pirate Game

Powered by Geek & Sundry

Merchants & Marauders from Z-Man is the quintessential pirate game. Two to four players battle supply, demand, and each other as they wage trade wars across the Caribbean Sea. You’ll start off with a modest ship and crew, with each player having a captain with unique skills at his or her disposal. From there, you can choose to focus on buying and selling or shooting and stealing to amass your fortune and glory. The high seas can be a dangerous place, so you’ll want to upgrade your ship with special weapons and equipment to weather storms, pirates, and warring nations as you travel from port to port.

Pirate fever takes ahold of the ITB crew as they wage war against one another for control of the Caribbean. The guys all gang up on Hana, but soon discover “easy prey” is anything but. Still, they won’t let a few minor mishaps like ornery vendors, Dutch bunnies, or accidental dismembering stop them from achieving their #piracygoals.
