The first player to accumulate 15 Victory Points wins the game. Quick. Easy. Fun. Approved! Continue reading

So why even bother to land on such an island? For the treasure, of course! And not just any treasure – pirate treasure! Work together to survive and be rich or, well…let’s not think about the alternative. Continue reading
