Merchants & Marauders lets you live the life of an influential merchant or a dreaded pirate in the Caribbean during the Golden Age of Piracy. Seek your fortune through trade, rumor hunting, missions, and of course, plundering. The game features a unique trade system and a thematic combat system, allowing for critical decisions and intense excitement. Modify your ship, buy impressive vessels, load deadly special ammunition, and hire specialist crew members. Will your captain gain eternal glory and immense wealth - or find his wet grave under the stormy surface of the Caribbean Sea?
(Formerly known as Age of Piracy)
Pros: Sandbox style game! Lots of player interaction! Very thematic!
Cons: Lots of luck based occurrences. Game has lots of fiddly bits and rules can seem complicated.
Overall I would buy it again in a heartbeat, going to grab the expansion next.
The best pirate sandbox game that exists, period.
A rowdy good time, though a bit long and dependent on at least 4 players for it to really feel alive. We played this recently and it was a really good alternative to Xia or Firefly. If you are in the mood for open world entrepreneurship in a non-sci-fi setting, I recommend giving this one a try.
