About Letter of Marque

A simple cardgame by Bruno Faidutti, totally based on bluff. Players try to move their 5 treasures in one of their ships, but only two of their five ships can be armed with cannons. Who can bluff their way across the oceans while opponents try to send pirates to attack unprotected ships?
