FroGames — Moments You'll Remember
The loot no longer fits in the hold. The crew is fighting for space. It's time to rebuild the ship from scratch — and set off bigger than before.
Expansion, not a standalone game. To play Pirates of Maracaibo: Shipbuilders you need a copy of the Pirates of Maracaibo base game.
What it's about
The ship is no longer a detail. It's your strategy.
Provisions, crew, and especially mountains of treasure: everything takes up space on board. Pirates of Maracaibo: Shipbuilders is the third expansion by Alexander Pfister and Ryan Hendrickson for their Caribbean eurogame, and it focuses on the one thing you took for granted in the base game: the hull beneath your feet.
Several new hulls to launch, two new figureheads to decorate them with, and a first player token that finally deserves to be at the center of the table. Each ship has a different shape, different spaces, bonuses arranged differently — and choosing it means deciding, from the first turn, what kind of pirate you will be.
It's an expansion that doesn't lengthen the game: it rewrites it from within. The same three routes to Maracaibo, the same duration, but a different personal engine in each game. Those who know Pirates of Maracaibo by heart will find something new to figure out again.
It doesn't add things to do: it changes the tool you use to do them. The ship you launch on the first turn determines the game you'll play.
The secret of Shipbuilders in one line
Two figureheads, a new bow, one persistent thought: how much gold can I really bring home before the third round ends.
