Adventure and glory await!Adventure and glory await in Pieces of Eight, a pirate ship combat game played with minted metal coins. A stack of coins held in your hand represents your ship. The coins you choose and the order you put them in determine your ship's strengths. You use your coins' special abilites to destroy your opponent's coins one by one, to expose the Captain buried in his ship and take him out!
Enter the age of blood and gold with either The Cursed Blade or The Maiden's Vengeance ship sets. Each includes all the coins one player needs to construct his ship, and the only limit to the number that can play is the number of sets you have. The coins in each set are not randomized, and buying one of each gives you all the coins you need to construct any legal ship.

Promotional Captain
We've given away 20,000 of the special promotional Captain coin for Pieces of Eight -- at our booth and tournaments at Gen Con and Origins, through our Special Ops demo team, and with online orders of Pieces of Eight through Warehouse23. The handy thing about the promo Captain is that if you own 4 sets of the game, adding it to your set means you'll have enough coins for 5 players (since each player needs a Captain plus 12 other coins).
