Objective
The objective of Pop-Up Pirate! is to be the last player remaining in the game.
Setup
- Place the barrel/game unit in the middle of the table.
- Insert the pirate into the top of the game unit and twist it. If you placed the pirate correctly, it should lock into place.
- Place the swords in the middle of the table where everyone can reach them.
- Choose a player to start the game. The players will take turns throughout the game.
Playing Pop-Up Pirate!
On your turn choose a sword from the table. Then choose an empty slot in the barrel. When you are ready insert the sword into the chosen slot in the barrel.
What happens next depends on if the pirate pops out of the barrel.
If the pirate remains in the barrel, your turn is over. The next player then takes their turn.
If the pirate jumps out of the barrel, the current round ends. For making the pirate jump out of the barrel, you are eliminated from the game. The players will reset the game unit by removing all of the swords and putting the pirate back into the barrel.
Winning Pop-Up Pirate!
The game ends when all but one player have been eliminated from the game. The last remaining player wins the game.
