Golden Age of Piracy: 1718

An open-ended, old-school style piracy game of action and adventure.

Golden Age of Piracy: 1718 is a solitaire, tactical-level, open-ended sandbox game by Joe Carter, being part wargame, part adventure game, and part RPG. As the captain of a pirate ship in the Caribbean during the year 1718, you will attempt to accumulate enough booty through illicit means in order to buy a King’s pardon and retire from a life of piracy before time runs out.

Ship-to-ship combat, boarding parties, and the search for buried treasure are to name but a few of the adventures that await you on your voyages.

But beware of lurking dangers such as the destructive Kraken or the haunting Ghost Ship, all the while you sail the crystal blue Caribbean waters in pursuit of infamy and fortune!
