Product Information

Table size needed: Large (5' - 6') for 3+ players, 4'-5' for 2 players as there are less board tiles used Lastly, whenever a player rolls a one on the sailing die, the "storm" is randomly relocated to a new location on the board. Anytime the storm moves it follows the same relocating process as placing a treasure. This means it can end up anywhere on the board. The nice thing about this is that it creates great game tension. Sailing to avoid the storm will only get you so far because you can never predict when the storm will move, or where it will move to. After everyone has used up all of their Crew Cards, or 15 days have elapsed, the plunder game ends. Use the Score chart above your left grid to total your score. Each pirate’s treasure is worth 6 Treasure points if no other pirate captain finds it, so you begin with six points as indicated by the 6 in the My Treasure scoring row.

To win the game the heroes must empty two of the first three locations or build all the houses in the village. The dragon player must burn a number of players or last all 10 rounds without the heroes winning.

Burn Baby Burn However, the game features many pieces and intricate instructions, the game can be intimidating for newbies. Orleans A Feast of Odin players must send workers to hunt, raid, trade, and loot villagers to boost their wealth. At the end of each round, they must organize a generous meal to sustain their tribes. Plunder: A Pirate's Life is a great game for most player groups. While battling other players is part of the game play, this is not the only way to earn plunder points so players can focus their efforts on other tasks if this is not something they enjoy in game play. Also, even if you don't consider yourself a fan of the pirate theme, I think you will enjoy this game because of the ships, cards, and unpredictability. The goal in Plunder is to be the first player to reach 10 plunder points. You earn plunder points for each ship in your fleet, islands you control, and plunder cards you earned from sinking ships, treasure cards, or just buying them with 5 gold.Your turn ends when you have nothing else to do on your turn (no move points left, or your ships are all sunk). Combat is handled via opposed dice rolls. Game Experience: Once Upon a Plunder is not the greatest game ever made. It’s no Great Western Trail, Ark Nova or Kemet. But it is a game that can be understood by anyone, played in a lot of places, and transported easily. It is the type of game that can entertain children or give non-believers a digestible glimpse of modern board games. The flow of this game is fairly fast. Even when players are not actively taking a turn, other players' turns often affect them. This might be because a player decides they want to go to battle, try to conquer one of your islands, trade with you, or they gathered a treasure whose result affects you. This is a thrilling board game with an average playtime of 40 to 80 minutes. Two to five players can play the game, and it’s a production of Days of Wonder.

Dominion®: Plunder is an expansion, and cannot be played by itself; to play with it, you need the Basic cards and rulebook (Dominion® provides both). Dominion®: Plunder can also be combined with any other Dominion® expansions you have. At the beginning of the game, every player receives four workers of different types. They can be farmers, monks, knights, merchants, etc. You need the right medieval alliances to trade, construct, and research your way to winning. The downside of the plunder board game is that it relies on arbitrary dice rolls, which can make it uneven if one gamer takes control at the beginning of the game, making it challenging to surpass. The Small World of Warcraft Each turn is a day on the left side grid. Once the three Clue cards are revealed, each player should mark them down on their left grid under Island, Marker, and Trap. Then mark a Y or N under each Pirate to note their answer. Looking at the visual, it’s hard not to believe that a lot of love when into the production of Plunder. The ships look great, the art is thematic, and even the insert holds everything perfectly. This is how board games should be produced. Yet, and it pains me to say this, that’s where the love stops.The player who lost their treasure adjusts the points on their My Treasure row on their Solutions Grid each time someone steals their treasure by first crossing out the 6, then the 3, and finally the 1. The one rule you are likely to forget or miss is to gather random resource cards at the beginning of your turn equal to the number of islands you have conquered. In the beginning it can take a while to conquer additional islands and it is easy to get into the habit of drawing only one card. With features such as seven meeple varieties and 150+ tiles, the game offers many gameplay options, making it ideal for gamers aged 7+ years. Players can use the inns, catalogs, traders, and builders to change the target and gameplay in other ways. Every round is simple, and the play moves fast, despite the number of players. Small World of Warcraft aims to earn victory points by defeating multiple territories and gathering coins from the conquests. Therefore, gamers must place their race coins in specific areas and defeat neighboring fields. Final Score: 2 Stars – While the components are great, the gameplay needed to spend more time in the oven.

Each player will collect one ship to begin their fleet. The players will choose a ship and flags to represent them throughout the game. The players may refer to the reference guide as the game continues if they wish. The compasses will provide the coordinates for the location of the marker tokens. There will be three of them, and the location is determined by spinning the compasses. A Feast of Odin is a Viking-themed board game for gamers over 14. The game lasts about 60 minutes and requires one to four people. The last player that chose an island will be the first player to begin their turn. The game is then ready to begin. GAMEPLAYOverall, it feels like Plunder just needed a lot more playtesting. Which is sad because the components just make you want to play the game. I really wanted to like Plunder because I love the theme and the bits are great. But the experience just isn’t there. Final Thoughts:
