About Dread Pirate Signature Edition

Dread Pirate is an elegantly presented family game focusing on pirate lore and like any good Pirate the one with the most loot wins. Each of the pirates start in their own port with a few doubloons and jewels of their own color. The rest of that color of jewel are piled near their port and the remaining doubloons are piled on "Dread Island" in the center of the map, along with the ‘fate’ cards that are drawn when sailing through specific marked areas of the board.
