Ruthless: Yo Ho Ho Promo Expansion

Description

This promo expansion offers seasonal novelty cards for a pirate-themed deck-building game, enhancing starting decks and treasure recovery without permanent changes. Key mechanics include: - *Monkey (2x)* Replaces one Powder Monkey per player's starting deck; inserts between CPT and 1 ranks to enable loops like CPT-M-1; features wild suit selectable during raiding party assembly. - *Present (1x)* Allows taking the top treasure from the discard pile to sell or keep. - *Seasonal intent* Designed as fun, temporary addition; Monkey may reappear differently in future expansions. This promo expansion serves as a lighthearted, seasonal novelty rather than a core game modification, with potential for the Monkey's return in altered form within official expansions. It introduces two cards: Monkey (two copies), which substitutes one Powder Monkey in each player's starting deck to create rank loops by fitting between Captain (CPT) and 1, enabling sequences like CPT-M-1, and grants a wild suit that players choose when forming raiding parties; and Present (one copy), permitting retrieval of the top treasure from the discard pile for immediate sale or retention. These elements add strategic flexibility to deck construction, rank progression, suit versatility, and treasure access in the pirate ranks system.
