About this game

Long John Silver is tied up, and his crew is interrogating him about the buried treasure. One player is Silver, giving clues that may be truthful or deliberately misleading while secretly planning an escape. Everyone else draws search zones on a shared map, narrowing down the treasure location through deduction and geometry. When Silver breaks free, it becomes a frantic race. The physical map-drawing creates a uniquely tactile deduction experience.
