Description

Another game of the 4 square cardboard games from Scandecor (Play Racing, Play Olympic, Play Western, Play Pirates).

Before the game starts, several land pieces must be laid on the large gameboard, so you'll get a board with some islands and some fortified harbors.

Each player choses one home harbor, where his 4 ships start. Movement is done by dice roll, but it can be modified by some of the included cards.

12 of these cards indicate, where a treasure is located.
The game ends, when all 12 treasures are found.

As with all games of the series, the board is illustrated with funny comics.
