Description from the publisher:

"In a world of vast seas and magical wonders, pirates and traders alike share the open waters in an effort to become the most renowned Captain of Praedonia.

Travel from port to port as you buy and sell mystical artifacts, vying to fill your vessel with endless treasure. Will you exploit piracy to grow your riches, terrorizing land merchants in your wake? Do so at your own risk, for the Fleet of Nimbus pursue vile pirates and offer bounties for their capture.

In Pirates of Praedonia, you decide whether to give in to piracy or to navigate the realm with honor. But whichever path you choose, beware! Spawned from the mysterious Shadow Reef lurks a nearby evil...the dreadful Dark Water!"

Players represent Captains who will navigate their ships to make the most out of the ever-changing market. Artifacts, and their going rates, change from round to round. Buy the available artifacts at a low price so you can turn the most profit. Don't have enough Aurum shards to purchase all you want? Plunder them! But in doing so you will attract the Fleet of Nimbus and other players who will want the bounty for your capture! Hire crew, equip cannons, and upgrade masts if you want to stand a chance in such cutthroat seas. If you fail in the dice-driven combat, you will lose your precious goods.

You must overcome the dangers of Dark Water, the Fleet of Nimbus, and combatting opponents - the player with the most Aurum after 7 rounds is the winner!

Whether merciful or ruthless, only the most cunning Pirate will rule the islands of Praedonia.

Pirates of Praedonia is a 2017 PAX South Tabletop Indie Showcase winner!
