Pete the Pirate (2000)

About this game

Roll the die, move your pawn and grab treasures - but also, each player hides his treasures in a treasure chest having two compartments. You must remember which side has your jewels and where this side currently is as the chest gets flipped and rotated by opponents. If you run into Pete the Pirate, you want to be able to open the empty half. Contents: board, pirate, 4 play figures, 4 treasure chests, 20 precious gems, special die Ages 6 and up

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Works with 2 to 4.
• Rules load. At 1.2/5 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.
