The game was created by Jordan Weisman and designed by Mike Mulvihill, Ethan Pasternack, James Ernest, and Mike Selinker. "Pirates of the Spanish Main" (the initial release of the Pirates line) is the world's first " constructible strategy game," referring to the mechanics of creating game pieces from components that punch out of styrene cards. The Pirates Constructible Strategy Game is a tabletop game manufactured by WizKids, Inc., with aspects of both miniatures game and collectible card game genres.
