Gameplay[edit]
Plunder Pirates is a multiplayer game in which players build a base, train pirates, explore the sea, defend against players and attack other players to earn gold and grog, which can then be used to build defences and buildings. The player can complete quests while doing those activities.[3] The game differs from Clash of Clans by being in 3D and the player can control the camera.
The gameplay environment has received seasonal updates for Halloween, Christmas and Chinese New Year.[5]
Buildings[edit]
Buildings have many uses such as storing a player's gold and grog. Buildings can be defensive, which can be cannons, mystic mortars, ground pounders, gun towers, mines, mystic mines, legendary mines, flame traps, shark traps, bunkers, pirate ship, and the pirate hall at upgrade level 9 or higher. Players automatically collect resources with gold mines and grog collectors. All buildings get stronger when upgraded with resources.
Rumbles[edit]
Rumbles are quick 24 hour wars between two rival guilds. To win, a guild must collect more battle points than the other guilds. If a player finds a member of an opposing guild while looking for pirates to attack, the player gets a guild war bonus and get a percentage increase on the number of battle points gained. The guild that wins gets resources such as gems, battle points and a large amount of gold while the losers get less gold, grog, and battle points, and no gems. To start a guild war the captain or quartermaster starts it.
Events[edit]
Events are regular, seven day competitions that are based on either an individual player or a guild's progress. The players earn rewards by collecting Event Tokens.

About the game
Plunder Pirates Game
Plunder! is a fast-paced card game with a lot of 'take that' action. Your goal is to steal treasures and pirate crew members from your fellow pirates by playing cards to attack other players and to defend yourself from attacks.
The game has a simple card-playing mechanic at its core, but outside of your turn you can play reaction cards. These influence cards played by other players. Play them at the right time, so you can benefit from the other pirates' actions!
