Pirate Hunter is a push-your-luck dice and card game with opportunities for player interaction. Players compete to capture pirates by rolling dice against a challenge number shown on each pirate card. Players must manage their dice pool carefully while taking just enough risk to stay ahead of the others.

The more pirates a player captures, the more risk their dice will be lost to Davy Jones along with the plunder accumulated that round.

Some rolls give dice, some rolls send dice to Davy Jones! In a pinch, players may call for the aid of another player and then negotiate a settlement for the assistance. But be careful, those lending aid are also putting their dice at risk.

Will you keep your plunder in your hold and risk the roll with fewer dice or use it to buy back dice and risk not having enough plunder to win in the end?
