About this game
Race pirate ships around Jamaica in this beautifully produced family game. Each round, the captain rolls two dice and everyone simultaneously programs their ship using action cards: load cargo, load food, or move forward or backward. Combat happens when ships share a space, resolved by rolling cannon dice. The treasure hold limits what you can carry, forcing tough choices about gold, gunpowder, and food. Stunning production with a metal compass doubloon, detailed ship miniatures, and a gorgeous board. The prettiest pirate race on any shelf.
