Enemy Ship Sighted: The World of Pieces of Eight

Set sail on the high seas in a ship of your own construction. Pieces of Eight combines two well-known concepts — ship-based combat and treasure chests full of pirate gold — to create a new spin on the genre. In this game the coins represent your ship!

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.
