With its high-quality components and captivating artwork, PLANK brings the spirit of piracy to life on your tabletop.

- Erin (Independent Play tester)

The ultimate goal of Plank is to collect the most treasure and build the best crew in order to score the most points. Other pirates may need what you have to win, so always be on guard. 

Your crew will allow you to sail the seas, collect resources, and pillage other players or defend yourself. Building a well balanced crew will be an essential part of your winning strategy. 

Venturing into the unknown waters, you must master the art of plundering fellow adventurers to seize victory. Even if you shun thievery you must be on your guard for those who would plunder you

Rules FAQ

Can a player plunder

twice in one turn?

Can you pick up a supply and claim a treasure in the same turn?

Yes. You may pick up supplies from an island and then attempt to claim a treasure at that same island during your turn.
