Game of the Year "While swathed in adventure game wrappings, Pirateer is a sly cross between checkers and backgammon, with trade winds thrown in to confuse things. Easy to learn and quick to play, the game's subtle (and sometimes not-so-subtle) strategies give it high replay value. Great for all ages." Wisconsin State Journal, 1995

Best New Games "An artfully conceived and executed strategy game in which two to four players compete to capture a treasure. It allows for several interesting play variations, and it's addictive. Complicated enough for adults, but ideal for intelligent boys." San Francisco Chronicle, 1995

Best New Games "In this game, a new incarnation of a game previously called Privateer, players control sailing ships in search of treasure, along the way dodging opponents and capturing enemy ships. It takes a little practice to get the hang of moving around the board, but it's smooth sailing after that. Well written instructions list several game variations, including one that - clever - requires a second copy of the game." Chicago Tribune, 1995
