Basing my budget card game selections on which brands AliExpress pirates are flogging for even cheaper has had mixed success (my daughter recently wanted to play 100 rounds of the princess game over a weekend and likes to impress nobles in Splendor, but the exploding fireworks game is "boring"), but this is my favourite so far – a relaxing cut-throat game on the high seas that's always over too quickly. The combination of collectable points and effects is a bit more convoluted than the princess game, but it might inspire some origami activities.
