About the game
The lucky pirates are over the moon as they return from their last successful treasure hunt! They have had loads of luck finding one of the biggest and most precious treasures of the world. They immediately sail off to the next treasure island to try their luck again. Who will be the first to collect five pieces of treasure? The lucky pirates roll the die and move from card to card. When a pirate reaches one of the two treasure islands he gets a treasure. If two or more pirates land on a card at the same time, a duel must be fought and only the winner gets the treasure. Aim of the game is to be the first to collect five pieces of treasure.
