Has to be Merchants & Marauders, even better with the Seas of Glory Expansion

[jeromykoffler]

Forgotten Waters, Libertalia, Extraordinary Adventures: Pirates, Francis Drake, Grog Island, Pirate's Cove, and Tortuga 1667 would be on my list of favorites for sure!

[shimmeryphil]

I was pretty sure that Forgotten Waters was going to be top, but I'm surprised Merchants and Marauders didn't get a spot at all!

[PentreeGames]

Dead Men Tell No Tells would be in my top 3

[adamholt]

I'm surprised there was no Merchants and Marauders, or even Tiny Epic Pirates. I wonder how Dead Reckoning will affect this list once it hits.

[kylebraby]

Dead men tell no tales is heavily underrated!! I believe it’s passed because it’s hard. It’s an amazing game

[Steve-L]

Tom it has probably 10--15 years since you did a Old West/Cowboy Top 10 list. Please do one.

[andreasoranno]

For as much as it is imperfect, Merchants & Marauders is my preferred one, followed by Forgotten Waters. Great list!

[randalladkins]

Pirates Cove gets so much love, I’d really love to see it reprinted.

[jamesjacobthomson]

Technically, Maracaibo is a pirate game, but I guess it's a bit too serious to feel piratey.

[Stankiem]

Can't believe Francis Drake isn't on here, my #1 "Pirate" game for sure.

[Rainfall]

Plunder: A Pirate's Life. Came out last year, nobody talks about it! Gorgeous board, fun components, gameplay is great especially with a bunch of people playing.

[richardklug]

I realize this channel deals mainly with board/card/dice games, but my favorite pirate-themed one is "Blood and Swash". It's a set of skirmish rules using miniatures to simulate all of the fun pirate activities...raids, duels, tavern brawls...easily scaleable for multiple players.

[sKoLb]

Dead reckoning, still waiting but so hyped!

[blackboardgaming]

Dead Men Tell No Tales would be high on my list. Have you tried Shiver Me Timbers? That would be my #1.

[listre]

I’ve prepared myself for a lot of eye-rolling, but Munchkin Booty is one of the better Munchkin theme variations and my go-to when anyone new wants to give Munchkins a try.

[tccrownhart]

Merchants & Marauders, Tiny Epic Pirates, Tortuga, British vs Pirates, Rum & Bones, Pirates of the Spanish Main, Pirates Cove and Shiver me Timbers just to name a few. But Tom I always love to see your picks. You and my wife have the same taste.

[joshpikka]

I like Loot, the classic Kinizia semi-trick taking game. Have played it with a lot of people at once. It's pretty fun.

[KabukiKid]

Tom needs to try out Shiver Me Timbers. I wonder if they were sent a copy at the Dice Tower. It is very Sid Meier's Pirates! Should be added to the Dice Tower library. :-)

THE PIRATE REPUBLIC.... Why is NOBODY talking about this game. It's Mage Knight on valium. good!
