Overview

What ABG knows about this game

Pirate life is the best life, or so they say. Capitán Bacon and his crew are not very fond of sharing, that's why they have started a greedy fight to get the treasure. Who will get the best part? Capitán Bacon is a fast family card game with strong player’s interaction. The main mechanics are hand management, set collection and memory. To win you must get in your hand treasures of the same kind (being 3, 4 or 5), but your hand is limited to a maximum of 5 cards and the more treasure you get the less actions you can take, as treasure cannot be played. During your turn you can either play cards, trying to get the right treasure, or hide cards on the table, where you can retrieve them later. But no place is safe, as another player can steal cards from your hand or take cards from the table. Throughout the game more treasures come into play increasing the probability of completing a set.
