About the game
From the box: Ahoy matey! One of your fellow captains is about to send you on a treasure hunt. Unfortunately, all he is going to give you is a blank map. You will have to find the best route to the treasure. Along the way you will encounter other pirates who will try to block your way, buccaneers who will try to steal your gold coins, and quicksand that must be avoided. There will be lots of backtracking and second-guessing. But if you can find a pirate's scope, it will help you see what lies ahead. In the end, if you commit your map to memory, you will have a peg-leg up on the other pirates. Shiver me timbers, it's easy to get hooked on this game.

Setup and teaching time are not included in this estimate.
The catalogue lists Pirate's Treasure for ages 7 and up. This is the publisher’s recommendation and reflects reading demands, rule complexity and small components rather than theme alone.

Pirate's Treasure has a complexity rating of 1.3 out of 5 from BoardGameGeek players, which makes it a light game.
