Set sail for one last adventurous raid with Pirates of Maracaibo, a standalone Caribbean pirate game from designers Alexander Pfister, Ryan Hendrickson, and Ralph Bienert. Built as a more accessible entry point into the world of 2019’s acclaimed Maracaibo, Pirates of Maracaibo drops 1 to 4 players into the hunt for gold, emeralds, and pearls across a modular Caribbean map, with a full game running about 25 to 100 minutes depending on player count.
Over the course of three rounds, you’ll captain your ship in search of treasure, hire crew to strengthen your voyages, form alliances with rival vessels, and explore hidden stretches of shoreline. Randomized contracts, variable treasure values, and a reconfigurable map mean every playthrough of Pirates of Maracaibo charts a different course, rewarding players who can read the shifting tides of opportunity and danger. One trip around the Caribbean is never enough. True buccaneers must complete three full voyages to prove themselves the richest and most legendary pirate of all.
Beneath its swashbuckling theme, Pirates of Maracaibo streamlines the deeper systems that made the original Maracaibo a hit, trading some of its complexity for a faster, more approachable ruleset without losing the strategic tension. Every card, tile, and miniature is rendered in the same richly detailed Caribbean artwork the series is known for, and each copy of Pirates of Maracaibo ships with a bonus figurehead promo. Whether you’re new to the Maracaibo universe or a returning captain looking for a quicker adventure on the high seas, Pirates of Maracaibo delivers a self-contained pirate saga worth playing again and again.
