Team 26 - Pairates!

Set sail on a fast-paced game of pirate cards for 2 to 4 players! 

The rules are simple: collect as many pairs as possible to become the richest pirate of the Seven Seas. 

But beware… not all cards are created equal! Special pairs trigger unpredictable effects that can flip the game, throw your crew into chaos, and spice up every round as you fight your way to victory. 

Strategy and a spark of luck will be your greatest allies in this card battle. 

So… who will claim victory over their crewmates?

💣 Bomb:
Be careful with your time, you might get eliminated.

🌋 Floor is Lava:
You can only flip a card twice in a game, after that, it will be reduced to ashes...

🍀 Only Luck:
If you dare to land on the joker card, you will lose.
The game won’t end before that...

🔄️ Play Again:
If you find a pair, luck will smile upon you, and you may play again.

🃏 Joker Lose:
If you dare to land on the joker card, you will lose a collected pair.
