Treasure Island is a brand new board game, for 2-6 players aged 8 and upwards, drawing on the rich pirate culture made popular by Robert Louis Stevenson. With a colourful pirate theme, players take on the role of a daring pirate captain landing ships in secret anchorages on Treasure Island. Players venture inland in search of buried treasure, amassing hoards of gold, gemstones and pearls. Use cunning and surprise attacks to steal treasure from your rivals, before they get the chance to attack you! Use tactical skills to navigate swiftly around the island, combining judgement with boldness in a bid to own the lion’s share of the booty. The double-sided board allows you to choose between a 45-minute or 90-minute playing time.

…It’s a puzzle, it’s a maze, it’s a game! It’s all three and much more! Place your pieces one at a time on the board. Try to form continuous rows of colour from edge to edge. But one wrong tile and the whole row is worthless. It gets harder as the number of empty spaces on your board, and your possible choices, diminish, since once a tile is placed, it can’t be moved! Everyone has the same chance as everyone else, because everyone plays the same tiles in the same order. But all the boards will be different at the end and only one player will have used the tiles the best way, scored the most points, and won the game. (Marcia Baldanza, Funagain Games)
