As each player was able to get gold back to their Home Island, they would be able to “buy/hire” crew on a 1 gold=1 point basis.

Arr everyone!

I just finished updating my Unique Treasure Reference Sheet for Pirates. The list has the text of all of the Unique Treasures from all of the Pirates sets, as well as listing on whether a Treasure should be loaded face up or face down. Enjoy!
