What is Port Royal
The merchant players in Port Royal, which won the Austrian Game Designers Competition under the title Händler der Karibik, are trying to earn as much as they can out of the Caribbean Sea, but if they set their goals too high, they might take home nothing for the day.
The 120-card deck depicts a coin on the back of each card — with players earning and paying coins throughout the game — and different items on the card fronts. On a turn, a player can first draw as many cards as he likes, one at a time from the deck, placing them in the harbor (an area near the deck). Each card shows one of the following:
Person, who stays in a face-up row next to deck.
Ship, which the player can attack immediately if he has enough swords on his people cards, after which the ship is discarded; otherwise, the ship stays in the harbor.

14€ v 9 Number of cards: 120 @ 59 x 91mm
Light but not simple card game with a touch of push your luck and a bit of strategy. Try to get ships with money to buy different cards with points a possibly powers. It uses a nice mechanism to buy cards in the turn of opponents. Maybe the design of the icons is not sooo clear.
