📖 About This Game
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.
Description for the Heidelberger release:
