## About This Content
The year is 1667 and you are a pirate sailing the waters of the Caribbean. A
Spanish Galleon floats nearby, and you’ve talked your crewmates into working
together to steal all of its treasure. What you haven’t told your fellow
pirates is that you have no intentions on sharing the treasure once you have
it. Your crewmates have told you that they share your loyalty and that they’ll
help you maroon the greedy pirates on your ship to the rocky island of
Tortuga. But you’ve seen your friends’ loaded pistols and heard their
whisperings of a mutiny. You know that nobody can be trusted.

Tortuga is all about the interactions you have with the other players. In some
cases, such as when you and your shipmates are attacking the Spanish Galleon,
you need to rely on your enemies in order to succeed. In the very next turn,
however, your shipmates might stab you in the back with a mutiny in order to
keep all the treasure for themselves.

Since nobody holds a “hand” of cards, this game is also about knowledge and
communication regarding the community Event cards. Unless you are in
desperation mode, it is not wise to reveal Event cards at random. Almost half
of the Event cards can hurt your team drastically. It’s often in your best
interest to use an action to view the cards first, or to rely on the knowledge
of a trusted ally. Knowing where harmful Event cards are located allows you to
force an enemy to reveal those cards and suffer the consequences. The most
successful players are the ones who are able to discern who is on their team
and then share vital information with them at opportune moments.

Vote cards also play a key role in the game. Each Vote card has three sections
– one each for Attacks, Mutinies, and Brawls. Players must put themselves in
the best position to use their Vote cards, since their hand of Vote cards may
not always be ideal based on their pawn location. For example, sometimes it
may be worth putting in Water, causing an attack to fail, in order to save a
Crossbones card for when you want to Mutiny against your captain.

For 2-9 Players. 20-40 minutes. Ages 12+.
