About the game
In the Caribbean islands you hear many stories of pirates and hidden treasures... One day, you have the opportunity to see, for a few seconds, what could be the map of an important booty. You will have to remember the details of the map well or you will end up on the wrong island! In this memory game the players will use the spyglass to see and discard the different elements of the islands until they find the same ones that were on the island. At the same time they will roll the dice to avoid the attacks of the pirates that they find along the way. When the players think they have find through the spyglass all the elements that they think they were on the island, the game will end. If they manage to to get right all the elements then the players will win, but if they miss an element they will end in a different island and lose the game. A memory cooperative game for little adventurers, with game variants from 3 years old.
