El Capitan (2015)

About this game

In El Capitan, players have a series of pictures in front of them and are trying to memorize their locations. These pictures are then flipped face down. During each turn, a card is revealed from the draw pile: players have to place their boats as quickly as possible on the corresponding card in front of them! Be one of the quickest players to make sure you get some gold. But be careful, as the old Captain has a few tricks up his sleeves which will test your reaction time. Only the richest pirate at the end of the game will be worthy of his ship and title!

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Works with 2 to 6.
• Rules load. At 1.0/5 this is a light game — explain it in a few minutes, good for a table that has not played much.
• Age. The publisher suggests 6 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
