📖 About This Game
The object of the game is to steal the treasure with one of your ships and get it to your home port or to capture all your opponents 3 ships using movement restricted by dice rolls (two six-sided dice), obstacles, trade winds, and currents.
The theme of the game is for each player to assume the role of a different band of three ships, with their own port and flag.
Nine extra scenarios are included - from "Shipwreck" to "Nuke-A-Teer"(!) - including one for up to 8 players (requires two games).
