Capitán Flint is a board game released in 2015 for 2–6 players, 10–20 minutes per game, and ages 8 and up. It was designed by Josep M. Allué and its main mechanics are Push Your Luck and Pattern Recognition.
After overcoming many dangers, you have finally found the treasure of Captain Flint. You'll have to calculate properly when to claim your share of the treasure since the other pirates also want their part, and you must be ready by the time Parche, Captain Flint's parrot, appears. And all this before the ghost of the Captain arrives on the scene. Capitán Flint is a frenzied card game for 2-6 brave and gutsy pirates. Catch the parrot Parche to find the treasure, collect as many gems and coins from it before Flint's ghost catches you, and become the richest pirate. At the end of the game, the player who has collected more jewels from Flint's treasure wins!

The catalogue lists Capitán Flint for ages 8 and up. This is the publisher’s recommendation and reflects reading demands, rule complexity and small components rather than theme alone.
