Received and played this game last night with my severely dyslexic 10 year old and wow!!!!!……. He absolutely loved it! A proper game that doesn’t involve reading and that was quick to learn. We have a lot of games but I have never known him enjoy playing so much he couldn’t sit still he was so excited for his turn!!

Really like this one. It has flavors of Catan while offering a really well designed pirate theme. Can be played 2-6 players and also as a team game 2v2v2, 3v3 or asymmetrical if desired. The ships are very cool and the upgrades work well (2 cannons really make a difference!). Very happy I came across this one! I would like to see an expansion in the future that can improve balance slightly because much like Catan, you can be at the whims of a dice role (if you role a lot of 1s you'll not be enjoying pirate life). I've seen suggestions of a ghost ship or giant kraken that chases the top player could be implemented easily. Asymmetrical ship powers would also be very cool to see. -1 point purely because the box was a bit damaged.

ARRR! Es war noch nie so spaßig in See zu stechen und ein Pratenleben zu erleben, wie bei diesem Brettspiel Die Regeln sind einfach erklärt! Der Spielspaß ist garantiert... natürlich nur wenn man sich auf dieses Szenario einlässt! Schiffe versenken, Inseln erobern, Schätze bergen (für mich das absolute Highlight!)... und nicht zu vergessen der Ewig-Sturm wird auch dich irgendwann mal kriegen! Handelsbeziehungen mit den Mitspielern starten (oder mit deren eroberten Inseln Geschäfte machen). Mit klugem Ressourcen-Management haushalten... und die Plunderpoints (Siegpunkte) rücken immer näher. Die Spielanleitung ist zwar auf englisch, aber sie ist sehr verständlich!! Also Ihr Süßwassermatrosen und Landratten, kramt eure letzten Dukaten zusammen und kauft euch das Spiel... sonst soll euch der Klabautermann holen!

If you like Catan you will LOVE Plunder! This is the best new boardgame I've played all year. It's well balanced skill and luck play a role and tides can turn quickly. It's simple and fast to pick up but with enough complexity that it remains interesting after infinite replays (the board changes and the storm element adds something unpredictable). Also you can adjust the length of play using the plunder point system, so you can finish in 30 minutes or battle out in a grueling match that lasts all night! Also, the quality of game pieces, the board and accessories are all top notch. I like that the little pieces are all a slightly softer plastic so there's no risk of braking bits. The icing on the cake are very well thought out instructions. You can go online nowadays to watch instructional videos for games, but the written instructions for Plunder are so good that you don't have to. They even include a page at the back showing how to put the pieces back into the storage slots of the box properly, AND, they have a game overview on the back page that's a quick cheat-sheet for the rules when you first start playing. I really can't say enough good stuff about this game, it's fantastic, get a copy!!!
