Booty for Booty is a Dvorak version of the game of the same name, originally made by SUPERSUGA for the Penny Arcade IRC channel and forums.
You are the captain of a surly pirate crew, hoping you can one day get enough booty to trade it in for a mansion and a wife. Not before you've had a few more years of adventure though!
Special Rules
Makin' Yer Crew
Your crew will start with 8 pirates, but you will be able to get more during the game.
Strengths
When you make a new pirate, you start by finding his Strength. Roll a d6 and check the Strength Table.
Strength Table | ||
---|---|---|
Result | Strength | Description |
1 | No Strength | Roll on Weakness Table instead. |
2 | Swashbucklin' | Stabbin', Tauntin' and Swingin' on ropes all included. |
3 | Swaggerin' | Wearing impressive hats, shouting loudly and inspiring fear in others. |
4 | Stealin' | Finding and claiming Booty |
5 | Shootin' | Firing cannons and pistols. |
6 | Choose any! | Choose any Strength. If this is your first 6, roll again. |
A pirate can have a maximum total of 2 Strengths and Weaknesses. For example, 2 Strengths would be okay, as would a Strength and a Weakness.
Legendary Pirates
A pirate with two Strengths is a Legendary Pirate. Check the Legendary Table to see which Legendary Title that pirate has.
Legendary Table | |||
---|---|---|---|
Strength 1 | Strength 2 | Legendary Title | Description |
Swashbucklin' | Swaggerin' | The Terrible | Any Pirates put on a job with this Pirate ignore the effects of Seasick and Scrapper Weaknesses. |
Swashbucklin' | Stealin' | The Backstabber | Roll whenever this Pirate returns to Port he will murder a few people and gain 1d6 Booty. However, if this roll is a 1 they get thrown in jail until the next time the ship returns to Port. |
Swashbucklin' | Shootin' | The Bloody | Roll whenever this Pirate would be killed. On 4+ they manage to claw themselves out of the situation somehow and are unharmed. |
Swaggerin' | Stealin' | The Bastard | This Pirate has an enemy in every Port. Upon arriving in Port they must roll. On a 1 they are killed. On 2-4 they get in a few brawls but only lose a tooth or two. On 5-6 they beat up an enemy so badly they are forced to join the crew out of admiration, roll for a new crewman immediately. |
Swaggerin' | Shootin' | The Killer | Whenever you wish you may have this Pirate shoot another crewmember dead. This may interrupt any other event or happenings. |
Stealin' | Shootin' | The Plunderer | Whenever the crew gain any Booty with this Pirate present they may gain an additional d6 Booty. |
Weakness
Pirates can get a Weakness if you roll a 1 on the Strength Table, or through Events in the game.
To find your pirate's weakness, roll a d6 and check the Weakness Table.
Weakness Table | ||
---|---|---|
Result | Weakness | Description |
1 | Scummy | This pirate is so repulsive that any non-Scummy pirates will refuse to work with them on jobs. |
2 | Scaredy | Whenever there is any sort of Event that would effect this pirate (sea encounter, crew event, island event or port happening) roll. On 1-3 they hide somewhere and take no part in the event. |
3 | Seasick | Roll at the start of each week. On 1-2 the Pirate can do nothing but vomit and sleep until the next week. |
4 | Swigger | Each week this Pirate must roll. On 1-3 they consume an extra barrel of grog and must roll again. On 4+ they drink no additional Grog. If there is no Grog left for them to drink they must roll on the Sober Pirate table. |
5 | Scrapper | Roll whenever this Pirate is set on a job. On a 1 they get into a brawl with another Pirate on that job, preventing both of them from doing any work. |
6 | Feature | The pirate has no Weakness, but gains a Feature instead. |
Features
No two Pirates on a crew may be identical. If two match one of them must roll for a Feature.
For example, if a crew is rolled with three Pirates with Stealin' as their only Strength two of them must get a Feature, and they both must get different Features.
This rule also applies to new pirates that are recruited at port.
To get a Feature, roll 2d6 and check the Features Table.

Finishing Touches
You should give each Pirate a name. (It's more fun that way!)
You will need to choose a Captain out of your 8 pirates. If you have any Legendary Pirates, your Captain must be one of them.
Resources
You have two Resources while playing the game.
Grog
Grog acts as fuel for the crew. If the crew doesn't have enough grog, bad things can happen!
Booty
Booty is the treasures you get during your pirate adventures. Getting 300 Booty lets you win the game, but you might have to use it, especially to get Grog.
Other Rules
Pirate Strengths
Some cards may ask you to roll and add a strength. That means you should add 1 to the roll for every Pirate with that strength.
For example, if you have 3 Pirates with Swashbucklin', and a card asks you to "roll and add Swashbucklin'", you would add 3 to the roll.
Every Ship Needs A Captain
If you ever lose the Captain, you must immediately choose a new Captain from the remaining Pirates in your Crew. If you have any Legendary Pirates remaining in your Crew, your Captain must be one of them.
Starting The Game
- Make your 8 Pirates and choose a Captain.
- You begin with 40 Grog and 0 Booty.
Playing The Game
Each turn, the Pirate Crews must do these steps.
- Each Crew must do the step before moving on to the next step.
- For example, you can't Set Course until every Crew has been divided into Job groups.
- Each Crew should roll a d6 to decide who goes first.
Step 1: Jobs
Divide your Pirate Crew into 3 Job groups.
Helm: Your Captain must be part of the Helm group. If you do not have at least 1 other Pirate in this group besides the Captain, you will have to roll on the Captain's Madness table.
Decks: These pirates keep the ship working. The more Pirates you have in this group, the less likely you are to get a Crew Event card.
Sails: These pirates keep the ship moving. The more Pirates you have in this group, the more likely you are to get to your destination.
Step 2: Set Course
- If the Captain is the only member of the Helm group, roll a d6 and check the Captain's Madness table below.
- If this makes the Captain unable to work, roll a d6 to determine your Course.
- On a roll of 1-3, you head for Port. On a roll of 4-6, you head for an Island.
- Declare your Course: Island, Port, or another Pirate Ship.
Captain's Madness Table | |
---|---|
Result | Event |
1 | The Captain fears a mutiny. No Pirate is safe! Roll 1d6 for each other Pirate. On a 1, lose that Pirate. |
2 | The Captain decides getting drunk is more entertaining than working. Lose 1d6 Grog. |
3 | The Captain is sick! Roll on the Weakness Table and give the Captain that Weakness. If they already possess this Weakness, you lose the Captain. |
4 | The Captain has had enough of the sea and desires a luxurious life on land! Change the course to Port. This course cannot be changed until you arrive. On arrival, lose 2d6 Booty. |
5 | The Captain is bored, so the Crew will have to entertain him. On your next turn, all Pirates must be placed in the Helm group. |
6 | The Captain changes course on a whim. Your course is changed to the opposite of its normal course (i.e. Port instead of Island, Island instead of Port), and cannot be changed until you arrive at your destination. |
Step 3: Swab The Decks
- Roll a d6 and add the number of Pirates in the Decks group. If this roll is 5 or less, take a Crew Event card and follow the instructions on it.
Step 4: Set Sail
- Roll a d6 and add the number of Pirates in the Sails group. The roll succeeds if you roll 6 or more (unless your Course is another Ship; see Pirate Attack!).
- If the roll succeeds, you have arrived at the destination you chose to sail towards.
- If the roll fails, you are still At Sea.
Island Destination
- When you arrive at an Island, you must choose a number of Pirates to investigate the Island. Only those Pirates' Strengths will affect rolls made on Island Exploration Cards.
- Draw an Island Exploration Card and follow the instructions.
Port Destination
- When you arrive at an Island, you will lose 1 Booty for each Pirate.
- If you go down to 0 Booty, your Pirates will steal what they need. (You do not go into negative Booty.)
- Your Pirates do not need to consume Grog while at Port. (That's what the Booty is for!)
- You can recruit a new Pirate by paying 1 Booty and 1 Grog. Create the new Pirate following the normal Pirate creation rules.
- You can bank some or all of your Booty while in Port. Banked treasures cannot be lost or used while At Sea or on an Island.
- You must draw a Port Happenings Card and follow the instructions.
At Sea
- Draw a Sea Encounters Card and follow the instructions.
Pirate Attack!
- To reach another ship, your Sail roll must beat your target's Sail roll.
- If this roll is successful, both Crews must roll and add Swashbucklin' and Shootin'.
- The loser gives 2d6 Booty to the winners. If the loser doesn't have enough Booty, they must give enough Grog to make up the difference.
- Roll a d6 for each Pirate on the losing Crew. On a 1, lose that Pirate.
- If this roll is not successful, you are still At Sea.
Step 5: Grog!
- You must use 1 Grog for every Pirate in your Crew.
- If you would run out of Grog, choose the Pirates who will get Grog. You must roll a d6 and check the Sober Pirate Table once for each remaining Pirate.
- For example, if 2 Pirates did not get Grog this turn, you would have to roll on the Sober Pirate Table twice.
Sober Pirate Table | |
---|---|
Result | Event |
1 | Abandon Ship! - The pirate leaps off the boat and swims off into the horizon, never seen again. Lose that Pirate. |
2 | Mutiny! - The pirate decides he could do a better job of running the ship.
|
3 | Beserk! - The Pirate goes into a murderous frenzy! Lose that Pirate and another Pirate of your choice. |
4+ | Fine For Now - The Pirate manages to work without Grog. |
Winning The Game
If you are the first Crew to get 300 Booty, your Pirate Captain can finally retire and settle down with a wife, a mansion, and a truly impressive hat. You win!
