The Three Phases

Lying Pirates is a fun and exciting adventure in which you must be the first pirate captain to reach around the islands, but your fellow pirates won't make it easy for you, Using strategy, luck, and a bit of bluffing, will you be able to sail past them all, become the crowned champion and claim the throne?

Never trust a Pirate

The first phase of the game is all about fooling your opponent to make the wrong decision. Each player conceals their dice and makes bets on how many of a specific face value there are on the table. Betting continues until someone calls out their opponent as a liar, revealing all hidden dice at once. If the sum of the dice on the table is equal to or higher than the bid, he or she loses. But if it is less, he or she wins.

...It hurts to lose a bet, so the winner (who also receives a bonus) and the survivors sail on while the loser stays behind. It’s time for the next phase.

Explore
the high seas

Aboard the ship, you and other survivors from the betting phase will sail 1-2 steps forward on the map. It's time to battle. With our custom-made Battle Dice, players must fight for the event tile their ship lands on. The winner gets to experience the event, but be on your guard - some events are beneficial, while others may be devastating. To aid you during this phase you will have special gold cards in your arsenal. These gold cards can be used for additional influence over an outcome: to steal great opportunities, or fortify your ship against dangerous creatures and many other actions.

Fire in the Hole

It's time to fire your cannons! Once the event has finished, the final phase begins for all players. Use your cards wisely to attack other players or pick up handy supplies. Each card has a special action to help you in different ways, But beware, Only one card can be played each round, so the strategy is key. After the phase is complete a new round starts with all players involved.
