FAQ
Official FAQ
- You can play this when you gain a Treasure, or when another player gains a Treasure.
- If you play this during another player's turn, your following turn is when your Pirate gains you a Treasure.
- The Treasure you gain comes from the Supply and goes directly to your hand.
Other Rules clarifications
- This plays like the Reactions in Menagerie; see the Reactions section.
- If you have Capitalism, gaining an Action with + in its text will let all players play Pirates from their hand.

Preview
Explorer is fine. It's been complained about a lot over the years, but well, it's really not so bad. But it was borderline, it was a contender for going, and then I wanted to add Pirate, which is similar. So, out with Explorer.
Pirate gains a Gold next turn, or maybe some other Treasure, and maybe faster than it looks.Secret History
The other card mentioned was released as Rope.
The first version had no reaction. It had two complaints: was it really good enough, and also, doesn't this set have Explorer? The second complaint was solved by replacing Explorer. For the first, it got a Reaction, triggering on a Gold being played. Another card in the set triggered on Treasures being gained, and it seemed simpler to have the Reactions match, and the other Reaction was better. Then the other card left.
Further comments on development
We tried Pirate gaining any treasure; man, we tried it. Pirate is totally playable, and cards like that do not possibly want to be stronger than it is.
