Dice of Pirates is a fast-paced game of piracy for 2 to 6 players! The newest game in the award winning pocket tin dice series!
The Winds of Fate are blowing, and fortune favors the bold. There is treasure out there waiting to be plundered, and coffers to be filled. It just takes a Captain with the will and strength to grab it. The seas are full of dangerous monsters and rival Pirate Captains, but this moment is yours not theirs. Your sails are full, your ships are ready, and your sword is sharp. Time to sail the seas, and make your name!

Review from The Geek Girl Project:
“I’m usually somewhat picky when it comes to games featuring pirates as I have been let down more times than I can count, yet Dice of Pirates more than does the theme justice so it is definitely one I am glad to have gotten to play! “
Review from Board Game Gumbo:
“[Dice of Pirates] … is for that group that likes to talk trash during games, and likes to cheer, groan or curse the fortunes and misfortunes that befall each member during a particular important dice roll.”
Review on Brawlin’ Brothers:
“This is a real simple dice rolling game that adds something that most dice games don’t have… player interaction!”
Review from Peace Love & Games:
“It is a high-energy game that gets you involved in every dice roll, no matter whose turn it is.”
