Mini-Event at Transplants Brewery - Dread Pirate

"Dread Pirate is an elegantly presented family game focusing on pirate lore and like any good Pirate the one with the most loot wins.

Each of the pirates start in their own port with a few doubloons and jewels of their own color. The rest of that color of jewel are piled near their port and the remaining doubloons are piled on “Dread Island” in the center of the map, along with the ‘fate’ cards that are drawn when sailing through specific marked areas of the board. It is these pirates goal to sail to the other ports and either raid or trade for jewels of the other colors. Once a pirate has at least one jewel of each color they can land on that Dread Island and collect some free doubloons.

"Skirmishes"can be had with other pirates at sea and may slow the journey, but the reward of treasure can be great. Once all the jewels are gone from the original piles in the home ports (some will accumulate on Dread Island), the game is over and everyone counts the swag in their pouch." ~ BGG

Dread Pirate - BGG

Come experience the life of a pirate. Sail the seas, raid and trade, explore treacherous waters and lands for gems and doubloons, and aim to take down the Dread Pirate and become the Dread Pirate yourself.

Metal ships and coins, wooden dice, cloth map, factual lore, all packaged in a gorgeous dark wood box. Seldom will gamers come across production quality as good as this. All that treasure running through your fingers has never felt soo good.

This is a mini-event where we showcase and play one game. Mini-events will range in size depending on the player count of the game. Because of this, we will only take those that RSVP, but you are free to come watch. Please only RSVP if you know you WILL attend. Space is limited.

We will be playing at Transplants Brewery. Check out my collection over at Board Game Geek and make a suggestion of a game you'd like to see showcased.

The event starts at 7:00 pm and will conclude after we finish. I only plan on running a single game, but depending on the mood we may play more. There is no cost for the event.

There are occasional food trucks to buy grub and snacks from and Transplants has a variety of spirits, along with drinks for those into non-alcoholic beverages, if you would care to support a local brewery. They have been nice enough to provide the space for us to use.
