Skullduggery: A Pirate's Game of Plunder

Skullduggery is a swashbuckling card game for 2–6 players aged 8+, where competitors split pirate booty using secret doubloon cards and skullduggery tokens. Each turn involves drawing a card and choosing whether to use it for actions, swap it strategically, or bluff your rivals—creating a fast-paced experience of tactical choices and hidden information. Educationally, the game enhances probability assessment, memory (tracking which cards have passed), and decision-making under uncertainty. It also encourages bluffing skills, social interaction, and adaptive strategies. With just 55 cards and tokens, it’s easy to learn yet mentally engaging.
