Great to play with your child, this pirates-meets-LEGOs adventure lets you work together to solve each problem. The Nintendo 3DS version lets you trade gold, or sword fight, against other players. Content includes 70 movie characters from the fourth film, Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides. In the game, you explore 20 levels in two player Cooperative mode or Freeplay mode, which lets you return to levels to discover new treasures. The Nintendo 3DS version has special features including the Pirate Duel mode which allows you to cross swords with nearby Nintendo 3DS owners using the StreetPass feature, which automatically detects and communicates with other Nintendo 3DS systems, providing they have the game cartridge. When an encounter with another 3DS is initiated, Pirate Duel puts you in a battle where you can select from a series of attacks and blocks to be utilized by your LEGO pirates, earning Play Coins that unlock and let you use new characters.
