Pirates on the Prowl
About this ebook
Find treasures or steal them from others.
Print and play. This quick-paced, easy-to-learn board game is free and fun. The goal of the game is to collect 1.200 doubloons in treasures. You can earn treasures by selling stolen cargo, you can find treasures on deserted islands, and you can steal treasures from other pirates. You'll need pirate qualities for that: cheating and tricks, bravery and taking risks, forming and breaking alliances, and you'll need a bit of luck as well.
The game consists of a play board (A2-size), 60 Cargo Cards, 12 Bad Luck Cards, 20 Bronze Canon Cards, 40 Treasure Tickets, 8 Character Cards and a Player's & Construction Manual. Additionally, you'll need 5 dice, 8 pawns, some creativity to build your 8 pirate ships, and a box to keep everything together.

About the author
Ronaldo considers himself "the funniest writer in Dutch literary history". The rest of the country laughs about that, which automatically confirms the statement. After a long traumatic experience in his childhood (the six years of the 1st grade of primary school, when he had to learn the alphabet), he escaped reality and plunged into the world of fiction. He studied silly jokes in Orcsford (England), dark humour in the Black Forest (Germany) and dirty jokes at Club Oh, La, Lá (Place Picardillas 69, Paris, France). He graduated in Tonterías and graduated in Cachondeo from the University of Málaga (Spain). His novels and poems are inspired by his philosophy: smile every day, because no one gives literary prizes to writers who make their readers cry (otherwise he would have written this book on onion skins). He lives everywhere and doesn't work anywhere, because making up jokes while floating in the pool, with a drink in one hand and a snack in the other, "That ain't workin', that's the way you do it".
Editorial Perdido has something new: board games. You can download, print and play them. You need some little things, like pawns or a die, but otherwise, it's completely free. If some tinkering is required first, that just adds to the fun, and say it yourself: it's much more entertaining to play with your homemade game, isn't it?
