Korsarze: играть онлайн бесплатно

Choosing your ship and captain

You start by picking one of four ships. The galleon is slow but has a huge cargo hold for trading, the brig is well balanced, the frigate carries big guns in a small hold, and the schooner is fast with only a few cannons. Each point of speed gives two tiles of movement per turn. Your captain comes with random special skills, such as a Hawk Eye who also uncovers the tiles around the ship or a Gunner who brings an extra cannon to every battle.

Trading, ports and expeditions

Islands grow bananas, coffee and spices. Load them into your hold and sell them in a port that wants them and pays the most. Ports sell sails and cannons for 5 gold each, a bigger hold and more sailors, and new ships of any type, commanded by a spare captain or one hired in the tavern for 10 gold. Expeditions to islands and barrels at sea bring gold, goods, cannons and castaways, who join as new captains or teach yours a new trick, while old maps reveal part of the sea.

Battles, wanted posters and sea monsters

The warships of France, England and Spain guard the pieces of the treasure map and hunt weaker ships nearby. A battle starts with a cannon volley that damages the hull and the crew, and then the faster ship decides: another volley, boarding for all the loot, or escape. Attack a ship of one of these countries and it puts you on its wanted list for several rounds, although a governor in a foreign port will burn the posters for 6 gold. To beat a sea monster, your dice roll plus your cannons must match its power, and a fair wind carries you two tiles further.

How to win

The first player to collect 6 pieces of the treasure map wins. There are only 9 pieces on the sea and the islands: the warships carry them, and one more each is hidden in a barrel, on an island and aboard a merchant ship, so you have to take the rest from your rivals. A rumour in the tavern costs 3 gold and shows where the nearest hidden piece is.

Players, controls and saving

Korsarze is for 1 to 4 players: play alone against computer pirates or with family and friends on one computer, tablet or phone. A game takes about 30 to 60 minutes and you can save it at any moment. On a phone you tap a tile to sail and zoom with two fingers, and landscape works best. With a mouse you click a tile, Enter ends the turn and N selects your next ship. Hints guide beginners through the first moves.

The rules are simple enough for kids from about 7, while grown-ups get real choices about ships, trade, risky battles and the race for the treasure.
