Pirate 21

About this board game

Pirate 21 is a competitive card game for 2–6 players that takes about 15 minutes to play. Each player draws cards and tries to reach 21 without going over, bringing a pirate-themed twist to a familiar challenge.

The goal may sound simple, but rival pirates are ready to interfere. Use pirates to knock an opponent out of the round, while mates and captains can swap cards to change your chances. Princesses offer protection, giving you another way to defend your position at the table.

• Compete to get as close to 21 as possible without going over.
• Use pirates to knock opponents out of the round.
• Swap cards with the help of mates and captains.
• Rely on princesses to defend you.

With its short play time and support for up to six players, Pirate 21 is built for lively group play. Draw your cards, watch out for hornswoggling opponents, and decide when to take your chances in the pursuit of the treasure.

First released in 2017, Pirate 21 adds a playful pirate setting to a race for 21. The game encourages competitive decisions, direct interaction, and plenty of pirate-style banter, so bring your best trash-talking voice to the table.
