About the game
Pirates of Maracaibo is a board game from Capstone Games, designed by Ralph Bienert and Ryan Hendrickson and Alexander Pfister (2023). It plays 1–4 players in 40–100 minutes, for ages 12+. BoardGameGeek players rate it 7.9 out of 10 and call it medium (2.9 / 5 weight).
Set sail for an adventurous raid…for perhaps it will be your last! Face danger and adventure while you search high and low for the most valuable treasures the Caribbean has to offer, then quickly find a safe harbor to stash priceless gold, rare emeralds, and iridescent pearls. As you sail, be on the lookout for a place to settle after your life on the high seas has come to an end, but you must outpace your opponents as one trip around the Caribbean won’t be enough. You must make three trips in order to retire as the richest and greatest buccaneer of all time! Pirates of Maracaibo is a standalone game in the same franchise as 2019’s hit Maracaibo with a more accessible rule set. The game plays over three rounds in which you sail the Caribbean, hire crew, ally with other ships, explore the shore, amass the most treasure, and (ideally) retire to a secluded island as the most revered pirate in history.
- SET SAIL FOR AN ADVENTUROUS RAID: Face danger and adventure as you search high and low for the most valuable treasures the Caribbean has to offer in this standalone strategy game.
- ACCESSIBLE RULE SET: Experience the thrill of the Maracaibo franchise with a more streamlined and accessible system perfect for three rounds of hiring crew and allying with ships.
- STASH PRICELESS TREASURES: Quickly find a safe harbor to stash gold, emeralds, and pearls, but outpace your rivals as you sail three trips around the Caribbean to secure your fortune.
- PERFECT FOR BOLD BUCCANEERS: Ideal for weekend hobby marathons, holiday family gatherings, or summer tabletop meetups where players desire to retire as the richest pirate of all time.
- FOR FANS OF MARACAIBO AND ADVENTURE: A must-have for strategy enthusiasts; suitable for home game rooms, local hobby shops, or community gaming events for a secluded island retirement.
