What kind of game is this
Part Liar's Dice.Part social deduction.Part race.
Every bet counts every die at the table, and you can only see your own. The rest you read off faces, hesitations and the captain who bet a little too confidently. First ship around the map takes the Pirate Throne.
Pirate etiquette, from the rulebook.
How to play
Three phases. Every round. Ten minutes to learn.
Each round runs Betting, then Sail, then Action. Same order every time, so new players are bluffing by round two.
