Piratas! - Mares Agitados ("Rough Seas") is the first expansion for the game Piratas! 3rd edition. It comes with a lot of new things that make the game more interactive, fun and strategic. New Treasure cards, instant card and Crew cards bring the game to a whole new level. Alongside it, there a brand new type of card, the events. Those events activate whenever a event card comes out of the deck and those effects are applied to each and every player. The Kraken is the first card of this type and its effect is: "Each player chooses: Deals 1 damage to that player ship OR discard a crew card from that player." —description from the designer
