Bones of the Caribbean is a push-your-luck, engine building game. It also incorporates elements of Legacy as the game can be impacted over several gaming sessions with players keeping their fleets.
Each turn players are rolling custom dice to get better effects. Building ships, pilfering merchants, burying treasure, boarding the opponent's’ ships to steal their treasure. As the game progresses, players get better at their skills and can see that it isn’t all about luck of the dice, there is a lot of skill to being a pirate in these dangerous waters!
