Set up 12 :cups: in a rectangle, as pictured. Secretly select 5 :cups: to be ‘Pirate Ships’ (a 3-cup ship and a 2-cup ship). When a Pirate Ship :cup: is sunk, you must tell the opposition at the end of their turn whether it was a 'hit' or if the entire ship is removed. When all Pirate Ships have been sunk (or removed), you lose. You cannot be re-racked. Pirate voices are heavily encouraged.
Set up 9 :cups: in a rectangle, as pictured. Secretly pick 4 :cups: (two 2-cup ships) as ‘Pirate Ships.’ When a Pirate Ship :cup: is sunk, you must say if it was a 'hit' or if the ship is fully removed. If all ships are removed, you lose. No re-racks. Pirate voices are encouraged.
