Organized crime associations battling for power and supremacy in a police free zone

The Pirate Captain and their teams must capture their opponents flag 3 times to win the rights for control of wealthy gangland territory

Game PitchCapture the flag is where two teams each have a flag (or other

marker) and the objective is to capture the other team's flag,

located at the team's "base," and bring it safely back to their own

base.

Enemy players can be "tagged" by players in their home territory;

these players are then, depending on the agreed rules, out of the

game, members of the opposite team, sent back to their own

territory, or "in jail". (the game includes a "jail" area in addition

to the flag on each team's territory.)

Capture the Flag. Each team has a base, and a flag that sits in that base. Your team's goal is to grab the enemy's flag and return it to your base without losing your own flag.

You can only "cap" the flag if the enemy isn't carrying yours. Do that, and you score. Score three times and you win.
