Piratocon: Dig, Restore & Collect

Digging up ships

Piratocon: Dig, Restore & Collect is a PC collection game about recovering model ships buried in a beach dune and restoring them aboard an old galleon. You aim your spade at the sand and dig until a ship section shimmers free. There are no markers for where pieces are buried, and you might uncover other finds, including a message in a bottle, a flip-flop or an old treasure map.

Rebuild and restore

Carry ship sections up the gangway and use the hall chart to find their shelves. Ships belong to different kinds, including drakkars, classic sailboats, steamers and submarines. Fit each ship’s sections into a cradle in bow-to-stern order, then place the completed model on an easel and scrub sand from its hull, mast, sails and fittings.
