Pete the Pirate

Hide your gems in half a treasure chest, then keep track while everyone spins it.

Published by
HABA

You gather gems around the board and stash them in a treasure chest with two compartments, one full, one empty. Then other players flip and spin your chest, and suddenly you are not sure which side is which. Run into Pete and you have to open a compartment, so you had better have kept track.

Who it's for

Families with children around six to nine who enjoy a memory challenge with real components to handle.

Not for you if…

You want decisions rather than dice and memory. It is a roll-and-move at heart, and this 2000 release is very hard to track down.

Vibe's take

Playful and a bit dizzying, with a satisfying moment of relief every time you open the empty half.
