Enemy Ship Sighted: The World of Pieces of Eight

Set sail with your keen first mate, barrels of grog in the hold, and a pirate's monkey on your shoulder.
Treachery and Battle on the High Seas: Gameplay Basics
In Pieces of Eight, each player controls a ship represented by coins in their hand. Each coin has a special effect: for example, the cannon is used to destroy other players' coins.
The fore and crow's nest coins are visible to other players. The aft coin is always hidden on the end closest to the player's hand. The captain coin is hidden somewhere in the middle.
