Pirate Cove
Requirements
Description
Overview
In Pirate Cove, players will be working together to sail away and complete quests, collect gold, hire crew, and upgrade their ship in this cooperative deck builder game.
Play cards to satisfy requirements of different quests and gain rewards. Quests that remain on the table each turn become cursed. There are rumors and rumblings at Pirate Cove. If you don't quell these rumors, and news spreads of the curse, your crew's morale will drop. You can quell these rumors by spending gold or you can keep the gold for upgrades to your ship and hire crew cards into your deck.
Pirate Cove is all about building a strong deck to tackle the harder quests while controlling your morale. If your ship is stranded by taking too much damage or you have cursed quests, you will lose morale and the game. Work together as a team to assist each other in completing quests, share the gold, and become the Pirate Legend you ought to be.
The Quest deck is assembled randomly each game so that each game can feel different with hundreds of possible variables such as the quest deck, crew available, and upgrades available.
Solo Mode
Cooperation is key in Pirate Cove but you do not have to run two decks while playing solo. Special solo rules are as simple as turning over 3 cards from the bot's deck each turn. The bot can assist you using those cards or remain at the cove to rest.

I like the deck building the game has and the idea of any cards not explored are now cursed so you need to spend money to get word out that they’re not cursed. A lot in a small tin with the wood coin...
Had a good time playing solo and coop. Great implementation of Moonrakers in such a small package.
This is really fun with lots of choices to make. I’ve only played solo, but 2 player would work well. This is my favorite tin game.

I love it !!! After aplay it, I just want to play again :)
There's a lot of content in a very small package here. The iconography is good and clear, and while the cards are tiny, I didn't have any issues setting it out or playing the game. There is a fair amo...
