Pirate's Cove

Pirate's Cove (German: Piratenbucht) is a board game designed by Paul Randles and Daniel Stahl, originally published in Germany in 2002 by Amigo Spiele, illustrated by Markus Wagner and Swen Papenbrock.

In 2003, Days of Wonder republished the game with a new graphic design from Julien Delval and Cyrille Daujean.

The game takes place over 12 months (turns), with the goal of being the pirate with the most fame.

Combat involves a mixture of luck and strategy with both the ships' strengths and the rolls of dice coming into play.

[1] JD Wiker comments that "Pirate's Cove is a fun game for casual and hardcore gamers alike, and the constantly changing environment means that there's no single, perfect strategy.
