About the game
Arrr, ye landlubbers! I have sailed the seven seas and overcome countless dangers, my old bones have a thousand stories to tell... Come here! Stay awhile and listen! I will tell you about one of my great adventures. Make no mistake, they are not just anecdotes of an old shabby pirate... Listen carefully and you might find a great treasure buried in the sand! The northern wind was blowing, when... Pirate Map is a semi-cooperative card game for 2 to 6 players (over 8 years old). The average duration of the game is 20 minutes. All the players are part of the same crew and, round after round, they will cooperate to assemble the map from the Captain's story and find the hidden treasure. The player with the most valuable loot at the end of the game will be the winner and their adventures will become a legend. —description from the publisher

Questions and answers
Pirate Map supports 2–6 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 Pirate Map is 20 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 Pirate Map for ages 8 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.
Pirate Map has a complexity rating of 1.0 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.
