Not as good as the base game with a similar price. Box is just OK, information cards are not thought through well, and storage is bad. The added contents are excellent, so still recommend buying it.

The cards show trading ships and pirate ships, with pirates and an admiral. Players send a trading ship of value 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.
Description for the Heidelberger release:
Essen release, 2002. In the nice small black box, with embossed lettering. An improved version of Buccaneer. This game has 25 Trade ships worth different amounts of gold (from 2 to 8), 48 Pirate ships, 12 each in 4 colors. The Pirate ships are worth 1-4 skulls (the player with the most skulls played on a trade ship captures it if the lead is kept for one full pass around the table). There are 4 Pirate Captains (1 of each color) to help win the battles and 1 Admiral to help defend the trade ships. The game is playable with 2-5 players individually. With partners it can be played with up to 6 or 8.
2005 Mensa SelectOne of our go-to games. We Started with Sleeping Queens and now have graduated to Loot. My Boys 5 and 9 especially adore this game. This will be in our collection forever as a solid, quick favourite.
Winner of Mensa Select games, the designer has many other successful and well designed games. Quick to learn and fast paced game that keeps each player looting from one another to loot the highest amount of treasure! Fun for all ages and number of players!
