Crash Games, publishers of games like
Council of Verona and
Pay Dirt, has just released their latest game,
Pirate Den. Pirate Den is a bluffing card game for 3 to 5 players ages 14 and older. In Pirate Den, each player is a pirate captain trying to plunder the gold of whatever ship passes his or her way. Each turn individuals will play a card face down and then, at the same time, reveal and execute them in their initiative order. The actions will be to either take gold from the supply, from other pirates, or bury your treasure to protect it and get back used cards. It's all about when you play cards because a lucky play could get you lots of gold. Once someone has buried five treasures the game will end and points are counted and the most points wins.
In celebration of the holiday season and the game's release, Crash Games is donating over 1000 copies of the game to
Toys for Tots, a U.S Marine Corps charity that provides toys for kids in need during the holiday season. This donation is especially important because the age range that gets the least attention in the toy drive is 10-17, and so 1000+ games being donated that are meant for that age range will make a lot of older kids and their families happy. So thank you Crash Games for your generosity, and I hope everyone reading this has a happy holidays!
