A ghostly pirate-themed solo trick-taking card game where you play against two A.I. opponents (ghost crew) vying to score more card points than the combined scores of the crew. Special cards include Rat cards that infest your hand eating your highest cards, and Pirate cards that have two suits and win almost any trick. To win the game, take at least 5 of the 9 gems before the crew take 5. Each round you bet on the number of gems you are attempting to take. The Pirate cards contain images of famous female Pirates throughout history, including Ching Shih, Awilda, Sayyida al Hurra, Anne Bonny, and Mary Read.
