How to play a Pirate Card Game. Here's How.

A pirate card game could be just playing poker, blackjack, speed or any of these popular card games because pirates used to play cards and poker for example and even they tend to gamble and bet on their card game competitions in order to win something like some bottles of rum, to win some gunpowder barrels, spend some time with a slave young lady,etc. Today's popular card games have been there for centuries and they remain the same. You could just play them exactly as they are and modifying and customizing just the way you play them by dressing up as a pirate, or for example everybody brings a bottle of wine or spirit and the winner of the card competition wins and gets all the bottles of the rest as if you were a pirate betting to win other pirate's rum bottles.

So let's go for pirates the card game just customized a bit:

1. Playing cards and Driking Rom Pirate Game

As I have said in the Pirate Party Games of Mine page pirates used to drink rum mixed with gunpowder they say. I am not sure about the gunpowder, but they drunk rum for sure.The bottom line of this pirate card game would be to play any card games: poker, blackjack, speed, etc. and to make a competition with several games and the winner would be the player that wins the biggest number of games.Every time a game finishes and there is a winner, this person has to choose 2 or 3 people that can include himself too to drink a shot of spirit: it could be ideally rum or perhaps whisky, gin, vodka, etc.The winner of the competition will get as a champion prize a bottle of rum or of any other good bottle of spirit.

2. Perhaps you could print out to make your pirate party game pictures of pirates or photocopying them from magazines, books, etc. and sticking them on for example the 52 standard card pack or deck for playing poker, blackjack, etc. On the King(K), Queen(Q) and Jack(J) cards of each suit of cards: spades, hearts, diamonds and clubs you could for example make a pirates of the caribbean card game if you stick on every suit of King card for example a picture from the Pirates of the Caribbean movie series with Jack Sparrow (Johnny Depp) on top of the card leaving the signs of the spades, hearts, diamonds and clubs as they are, a good Queen could be a picture of Elizabeth Swann (Keira Knightley) and a good Jack could be Will Turner (Orlando Bloom) or perhaps you can make King and Queen Will Turner and Elizabeth Swann and Jack Sparrow as a Jack (his name already says it). You could swap each ace for Captain Barbossa's picture instead. It is up to your imagination.You can either stick the pictures on these cards with some glue or a piece of zelotape if you don't mind these cards to get damaged (card packs are very cheap and you can get them anywhere) or you can fix these pictures on the cards with clips to avoid any damaging on the cards.My idea would be to scan some examples of these pirate cards for your pirate card game so that you can print them out. This will be quite likely coming soon ...
