To their enemies they are cruel, they are rapacious, and they are capricious. No trick is to low for them; they defy the very conventions of proper society.

They are wry and sardonic, full of gallows humor, and all too well aware that their end is likely to be swift and violent. Their offi cers are charismatic. They have a code of honor among themselves, caring even for their lamed and wounded, dividing their spoils equitably before a council of all hands.

Pirates are classical swashbucklers, whether on the screen or in print, and this book treats their world in the romantic tradition of fi ction rather than from a strictly historical perspective. Boarding parties swarm aboard a man-of-war, treasure parties bury gold under a full moon on uncharted islands, heroes slide down sails by slicing them with their daggers, buccaneers besiege stockades defended by desperate garrisons, and mooncussers scuttle about the fl otsam on a fatal reef.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eThese rules are designed to let players play games with only a handful of figures and require only a small space to play.
