Description

User summary:
Pirates Code is a game of deduction and bluffing. There are 14 cards, each numbered 1 through 14, and 12 of them are dealt to players evenly. The remaining 2 cards compose a cipher of the treasure cache. A player wins the game by specifying the correct numbers of these 2 cards.

Each card has its own ability to help gain some clues about the treasure cache. But using the ability comes with a risk of revealing clues to other players. Players have to weigh the risk and the benefit when playing a card.

When a player is sure they have enough clues, it's time for them to declare the codes. The player wins if they are correct. If another player says they have one of the declared numbers, the declaration fails. The declared player misses one turn, but they don't get eliminated, and at least they gain a clue that another player has one. Therefore players may declare codes without enough clues, and experienced players will find out other benefits from early declaration.

Publisher summary:
Pirates Code is a deduction card game without player elimination, where you can hide a trap inside your deduction (the literal translation of ?????????? is "to set a trap in the shadow of your deduction"). You lead your pirates and try to decipher the codes for the treasure cache. Your goal is to be the first player who identifies and declares the 2 correct numbers out of 14 candidates. You have more than one chance to declare, so you don't always have to declare the direct answer. Hide your true intention when you declare.
