This is why Sid Meier's Pirates [0] remains such a great game.

It was really a combination of mini-games:

- you got steer a ship (or fleet of ships) around the Caribbean

- ship to ship combat

- fencing

- dancing (with the Governors' daughters)

- trading (from port to port or with captured goods0

- side quests

Each time I played it with my oldest, it felt like a brand new game.
