The 2023 Summer of Plunder event is nearing its end in August here is the full list of prizes we’re giving away this year! We have a bunch of great sponsors for the campaign this year and a huge stack of prizes, totaling over $2,500. Some of it has already been awarded, and some prizes will be given out at the end of the campaign.

There are several “levels” of prizes given out during the Summer of Plunder campaign. There are prizes for certain levels of participation, there are random drawings from the week’s entries, there are prizes for good photos, there are prizes for good looking tables and so much more! All those prizes are available to all players! In addition to all that, each national commander has a horde of prizes that are being awarded to their players! Each player was given $100 to work with to assemble prizes for the nation as they see fit, with various national objectives and ways of earning that plunder.

Conclusion

There’s lots of plunder to be won! We hope you’ll win some loot and enjoy the event.

Timing of shipping prizes will depend on several factors: some prizes get shipped mid campaign, but many will be shipped at the end of the campaign so things can be combined for anyone who has won more than 1 prize. Postage is a big expense for an event like this and we try to be frugal.

Thanks for your participation!
