Set in 1675 Jamaica, players balance racing with treasure hunting and battles, aiming to amass the most gold by the finish line. With simultaneous action selection and strategic card play, it offers engaging player interaction and replayability for both new and experienced gamers. ## Description Summary: This is a pirate-themed tactical race game with player interaction and side goals (e.g. detouring for treasure). The winner is the player who best balances their position in the race with their success at the side goals. Setting: Jamaica, 1675. After a long career in piracy, Captain Henry Morgan skillfully gets appointed to be Governor of Jamaica, with the explicit order to cleanse the Caribbean of pirates and buccaneers! Instead, he invites all of his former "colleagues" to join him in his retirement, to enjoy the fruits of their looting with impunity. Each year, in remembrance of the "good old days," Morgan organizes the Great Challenge, a race around the island, and at its end, the Captain with the most gold is declared Grand Winner. Goal: The game ends on the turn when at least one player's ship reaches the finish line, completing one circuit around the island of Jamaica. At that point, players are awarded different amounts of gold in accordance with how far away from the finish line they were when the race concluded. This gold is added to any gold a player gathered along the way by detouring from the race to search for valuable treasure, by stealing gold or treasure from other players, or just by loading gold as directed by the cards the player played during the race. The player with the most total gold acquired through all these means is then declared the winner. Gameplay: The game is played in rounds. Each player always has a hand of three cards, and a personal board depicting the five "holds" of their ship, into which goods can be loaded during the game. Each round, one player is designated as "captain," with the next clockwise player being captain in the following round, and so on. The captain rolls two standard D6 dice, examines her cards, then announces which die will correspond to the "day" and which to the "night." Each player then simultaneously selects a card from their hand and places it face down in front of them. Each card has two symbols on it, one on the left - corresponding to "day" - and one on the right ("night"). The symbols indicate either ship movement (forward or backward) or the loading of a type of good. After every player has selected a card, all cards are revealed simultaneously and then resolved clockwise one by one, starting with the captain's. When it is a player's turn to resolve her card, for first the left symbol on her card and then for the right symbol, the player will load a number of goods or move a number of spaces equal to the number of pips showing on the corresponding day or night die for that round. Thus the main decision each player makes during the game is which of their current three cards would best serve them on a particular turn, given the values of the day and night dice. Finally, during the race, when a player lands on a spot already occupied by another player, there is a battle. Battles are mainly resolved by rolling a "combat" die, but players may improve their chances by using "gunpowder" tokens from their holds, if they loaded any on previous turns. The winner of a battle may steal some goods or treasure from the loser. ## Features - 2-6 Players, 30-60 Minutes, Ages 8 years + - Race around Jamaica to claim its spoils. Beware!

He told me it was his β€œgo to” game for new players but that it was almost always in the rotation even for seasoned players. After playing it with my family over the Thanksgiving holiday, I can definitely see why! Our group of 6, ages 26 to 56, had a great time playing it and they wanted to play it again multiple times over the 4 days instead of moving to a different game.The game is fairly easy to learn, each turn has players selecting their card at the same time and then the turns are short and often impact other players. This means less time sitting around and waiting for other players or being bored until it is your turn again. Combat between players is frequent and low stakes enough to be fun and not strongly avoided.Because of the amount of luck (via dice rolls and drawing cards), the game is well balanced. So a player who looks to be trailing for most of the game can suddenly come from behind and be in contention to win. It also means that new players have just as much chance of winning as board games regulars. There is just enough strategy to keep the experienced players interested without giving them a major advantage.It is also rather difficult to find good board games that support up to 6 players (most cap out at 5), making this a great option for when you might have 3 couples playing together, etc.Jamaica is now going to be my β€œgo to” game for introducing new players to board gaming or when there is a mixed experience level in the group. Highly recommend. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ In perfect shape. *by on Reviewed in Saudi Arabia 28 October 2022* It came in a good shape with no flaws whatsoever.
