As the new century dawns, players ply the thriving trade of finding treasures in shipwrecks around the island. Before a hurricane hits, players need to search the many shipwrecks and sell the lost treasures to the island denizens for as much cash as possible.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis was designer Paul Randles' final game before passing away in 2003.

The island has long been a pirate's harbour, and it has recently be found out that there were many sunken galleons around. Hurricane Katty is due in ten days, so you have little time to hire a diver team and bring back as much sunken treasure as possible.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe systems :\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003eKey Largo is a double-guessing game, like Paul Randles' other game, Pirate's Cove. Every morning, each player secretly decide what he will do the coming day - take tourists dolphin watching, search a wreck for treasures, sell treasures at the market, buy equipment at the local shop, or go to the tavern to hire more divers and listen to the rumours. It's also a light management game, where you start with little cash and must make your money grow through fruitful investment.

The tales of those legendary pirates of old who've fought and survived these mysterious waters still haunt all those who yearn for a life at sea. Armed with a secret map and starting with a modestly outfitted sloop salvaged from last winter's storm, you set sail to Pirate's Cove - your eyes filled with visions of treasure and fame, your lungs filled with the salty air of the High Seas.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eYour objective\u003c\/strong\u003e: to battle for the rights to plunder and become the most famed and feared Pirate the world has ever seen. To do so, you will need to navigate shrewdly, fight recklessly and pillage mercilessly. You will gain fame by winning battles; burying gold and treasure; and bragging about your exploits at the Tavern. At the end of twelve months, the pirate with the most fame will be declared the most fearsome Pirate of the High Seas!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe game has 12 turns and at the start of every turn, each pirate must decide (secretly) which of the 6 islands they will visit. All players reveal their navigation directions simultaneously and then the turn is resolved. If any two or more pirates end up at the same island, Combat ensues.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCombat resolution is determined by the strengths of your ship and the results of cannon fire (dice). The goal of combat is to scare away rival pirates so that you are the only pirate left at the island. If you stay in combat too long, your ship will suffer and make subsequent turns more difficult, so there is a fine balance of when to stay and fight and when to let the bigger ship have its booty. If you flee from combat, you end up at Pirate's Cove where you receive a small compensation for the turn. Once all conflicts are resolved, then the bounty for each island is given out.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEach island (except Pirate's Cove and Treasure Island) offer various amounts of Fame, Gold, Treasure or Tavern cards. The bounty is skewed so that some Islands are clearly better choices than others, so it can force you to decide (or bluff) if you think you can take the island should other pirates go after the same bounty. Once you have your bounty, you can purchase upgrades for your ship. Each Island offers a different ship component. The four parts of your ship are: Sails (determines speed and initiative in combat), Hull (how much treasure you can carry), Crew (needed to man the cannons), and Cannons. (The lower number of Crew and Cannons determines how many dice you roll in combat).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThere is also an island with a Pub that offers useful strategy cards to help you in all aspects of the game. The last island is treasure island which offers no real bounty other than the chance to bury treasures that you have in the hull of your ship. Buried treasure is converted to Fame (which is the ultimate goal of the game).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOther random elements of the game include the dreaded Legendary Pirates who are highly dangerous ships that patrol the islands in order. One of 5 different Legendary Pirates (which include famous names like Blackbeard and The Flying Dutchman) is drawn at the beginning of every game, and stays until defeated. If you end up at the same island as one of them, you had better have a strong ship and helpful allies or they will blast you with their powerful cannons. However, if you can manage to sink their ships, you can score a good amount of fame! But beware, once you defeat him\/her a new Legendary Pirate will appear to wreck havoc in the islands.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt the very end of the game, there is a chance for everyone to tell \"tall tales\" about themselves to increase their final fame standings. These tall tale cards are gained at the pub and offer yet another fun \"pirate\" mechanic. In all, \u003cstrong\u003ePirate's Cove\u003c\/strong\u003e offers you the chance to truly play like a pirate where you can fight and plunder your way to victory.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Days of Wonder","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":423879769,"sku":"DW7101","price":76.49,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0274\/9631\/products\/Pirate_s_Cove.jpg?v=1578608849"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.vaibhavhospital.com\/collections\/paul-randles.oembed","provider":"vaibhavhospital","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
