Once upon a time , there was a short, skin-peeling mess of a pirate known to the world as Dead Skin Dave. Dave wanted nothing more than to impress his fellow pirates, but he rarely succeeded. Then one day, the feared Hairy Hazelroth sank his ship and left him stranded on an island full of wanna-be pirates!
Join Dead Skin Dave, the Pirate, his dim-witted first mate, Tom Swiftfellow, and the evil Hairy Hazelroth, as they face off across the high seas for the legendary lost cutlass o’ Captain Bo Ben in an adventure full of laughs and swashbuckling action!

Your objective: to battle for the rights to plunder and become the most famed and feared Pirate the world has ever seen. To do so you will need to navigate shrewdly fight recklessly and pillage mercilessly. You will gain fame by winning battles; burying gold and treasure; and bragging about your exploits at the Tavern. At the end of twelve months the pirate with the most fame will be declared the most fearsome Pirate of the High Seas!

Junior Pirates: Make yer own pirate hat!
Ahoy, junior pirates! Dead Skin Dave has just set me an urgent request. He seems to have lost his crew, and he needs replacements as quickly as possible! All you need to do is make this official pirate hat to join Dave’s crew! Hurry he needs your help!
What You’ll Need:
Paper
Grocery bag (child hat) or newspaper (adult hat)
Scissors
Marker
Step 1:
Cut open the bag so that you are left with a large front panel.
Step 2:
Carefully remove the handles.
Step 3:
Fold the panel in half along the width of the paper.
Step 4:
Fold the two corners to the center. Because your started with a rectanglular panel, the folded corners should leave you with some excess space at the bottom.
Step 5:
Fold the bottom excess up and over the corners as shown.
Step 6:
Repeat Step 5 for the reverse side of the hat.
Step 7:
Use your marker or other embellishments to decorate the face of your pirate hat. Start with skull and cross bone and see what else you can add.
Step 8:
Put on your pirate hat and say “ARRRGH!”
