Education...hmmm!, educations what you need.
If you want to be a mathematician or computer programmer or record breaker...ohhh!

(see Roy Castle and Record Breakers for reference)

Dreaming of riches and dominating the sea is all you ever wanted. But it is very hard to do when your an ugly spud!


​Potato Pirates has a collection of them and you are responsible for keeping them a float. 

You'll have 2 ships, loaded up with potatoes. Ten of them each. If you loose them and there are no crew members aboard a vessel, it sinks.

​Players are going to be drawing cards every turn and adding them to their docked ships. These cards will be "action" cards, that will do damage to a target ship. In one's, two's and three's..."That's not a lot of damage", you say.

That's where the "control" cards come into play. These can also be loaded onto the ships to increase your attack. They will either multiply the "action" cards, give conditions for the use of the "action" cards or set a programmed pattern en route for the "action" cards. These will give different attacks to your enemies, hopefully eliminating them. Making you the soul survivor, winning the game.

Or  you could collect all 7 of the Potato Kings, also winning you the game. Every time you have a King in you hand, you place it in front of you. The other players have to show their respects and salute you. Being the slowest to do so will cost you two of you potato crew, as they defect to the side of the Potato King. Kings can be found, stolen and  collected throughout the game.

"Surprise" cards are also thrown into the mix to block attacks, gain new cards and ship. And deny someone who denies you. Giving you a family fun, take that style of game, that also teaches math and programming.

Potato Pirates has a very good graphics to begin with. By the way, thank you for introducing this game to us! Watching the video and understanding the whole concept of the game is not a price of cake. Since board game producers were in search of unique games since a lot have been launch for the public already, I think this one is safe to say that is more pretty complicated. But I love the thrill of the game, I believe it's going to be worth the try. From that, let's see if it's going to work!

Ever game can be complicated, depending on your experiences you have had. I always presume that most people have played Uno and Monolpoly. This game is around that level of player but math based. If your good at math, this should be easy. Like Scrabble is to a player competent at spelling.

Sorry if the video was not clear
