In Loot, players send out their pirates to attack and defend trading ships in order to get the most gold coins. The game box contains 78 cards consisting of trading ships, pirate ships, captains, and an admiral. Players send out a trading ship on a voyage in which it must survive a round of attacks from other player's pirate ships. You defend your traders with your own pirates and collect the spoils of your attacks elsewhere. The game ends once the draw deck is depleted and one player is out of cards. The player with the most gold coins wins. Renown game inventor Reiner Knizia has created a highly clever card game that is at once simple to learn and fast to play, while engaging those looking for strategic challenge. We're particularly fond of the team play version, where you and a partner get to look at each other's cards and conspire moves. Give it at try and you'll be hooked! If you’re looking for a game that accommodates up to eight players and is fast, simple, and fun, then Loot is an excellent choice. ages: 10+ 78 cards, 20 minutes, strategic thinking no longer available from manufacturer/retired/out of print Mensa Select award This particular version is in like-new condition.
