Overview

What ABG knows about this game

Hook: Lighting fast, “Press your luck”, Set Collecting with stealing. RUM is played in quick turns, over many rounds. The game ends when a player reaches a set amount of points OR the Castaway Clock is rotated to the Pirate Ship (8th position). During the game, sets of bottles are played in order to gain Captain Cards and earn points. However, Captain Cards may change controllers if an opponent plays a larger set. And watch out for that pesky Parrot as it’s lurking near by and ready to steal Rum at any time. From The Box: Argh! Players are pirates rummaging through a shipwreck. Collect sets of rum and press your luck to earn the majority. But watch out for the parrot, who will steal your booty! The pirate with most points is the winner! Number 11 in the Pack O Game series.
