About the game
Butim (Spoil, in portuguese) is a competitive pirate game where players compete with each other for the best equipment, pieces of maps and hidden treasures. It's a party game of luck and strategy where you will cheat, steal, bother and disrupt the lives of your opponents. There is no honor among pirates! There is no elimination, that is, who enters the game stays until the end and everyone has a chance to win. Butim is a card game that tells the story of the Bloody Islands Archipelago. These islands were used by generations of pirates to hide the biggest secrets that sailed the 7 seas. But all the pirates who buried their treasures there, also armed the most terrible traps so that these treasures stay properly protected. It was a beautiful and deadly place. However, as every story has an end, on a beautiful day a mysterious maelstrom opened near the islands and is leaching the islands with all this wealth to the bottom of the ocean. The objective of the game is to remove as many treasures as possible from these islands before they vanish forever. The player who has more wealth at the end of the game is declared the winner. During the game you draw resources and cards, dig the islands (draw island cards) looking for maps and treasures and play special cards. At the end of a round cards are removed from the islands to the maelstrom. The game ends when a number of islands were totally removed.

Questions and answers
Butim supports 2–7 players according to the catalogue. This range comes from the publisher’s listed player count, so the game can be set up for any group size within it. Some setups, rules and scoring details may still vary by player count, so check your edition’s rulebook for the exact configuration.
The listed playing time for Butim is 30 minutes. This is the publisher’s estimate for a full game. The actual duration depends on the group, the player count and familiarity with the rules: first sessions usually run longer, while experienced groups often finish faster. Setup and teaching time are not included in this estimate.
The catalogue lists Butim for ages 14 and up. This is the publisher’s recommendation and reflects reading demands, rule complexity and small components rather than theme alone. Younger players can often join with help from an adult, so check the age guidance on your edition and consider your group’s experience with board games.
Butim has a complexity rating of 1.3 out of 5 from BoardGameGeek players, which makes it a light game. The rating reflects how much rules knowledge, planning and decision-making a typical game demands. Expect a longer first teach for heavier games, and use a preparation guide before game night.
Butim belongs to these categories: Card Game, Pirates, and Collectible Components. Its main mechanics are Hand Management and Open Drafting.
