Sid Meier's Pirates!

Firaxis' take on Sid Meier's classic about pirates in the Caribbean. You sail between ports, fight ships in naval battles, duel with swords, dance with governors' daughters and raid towns. It is built from many short activities rather than one long campaign, and it can be played in any order. Is it your kind of game?
