Piraten, Planken & Peseten (2004)

About this game

A large, 3D, well-designed cardboard Hispaniola has the pirates fighting over the treasure chests. As pirates are made to walk the many planks, the 4th pirate on the plank will push the 1st pirate into the water. Players have twelve action points to spend moving their pirates around and successful pirates draw a treasure from a bag. The scoring mechanism has a long plank and spring clip for each player, to show your score.

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Works with 2 to 4.
• Rules load. At 1.5/5 this is a light game — explain it in a few minutes, good for a table that has not played much.
• Age. The publisher suggests 8 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
