    Very fun, but gets repetitive once you figure out all the tricks.

    This game is one of the few games that lived up to my expectations. Like Sid Meier's other games, the gameplay in Pirates is easy to learn but hard to master. I spent weeks exploring all of the intricacies of the game. T... Read Full Review

    Most addictive game ever made
