About the game
Bluff, attack, take risks in flash games. On a ship, every pirate has his place. Recruit your crew by avoiding mutiny. A pair of pirates, and it’s lost! The number shown on a card corresponds to the number of its copies in the package, namely one card, two cards 2 and ten cards 10. With this strong principle, it is possible to evaluate the remaining cards in the pickaxe, and thus to take risks and make the right decision. To begin, each player receives three cards, and at the same time, each one slams a card in front of him. The smallest value begins. In turn, one of the following actions can be taken: Draw a card and keep it in your hand Attack a player: lay a card with his hand in front of a player, of a value other than those already in front of the player (he cannot be paired) Accuse a player if you think he has a pair in his hand (or between the cards in front of him and his hand). If he does, he’s eliminated, otherwise it is you. Challenge a player: draw a card without looking at it and shoot it in front of a player. If you form a pair with a card already present, YOU are eliminated. —user summary
