Jackal
Players command pirate crews exploring a randomly arranged island in search of buried treasure. Each round, players move one selected pirate, navigating jungles, forts, crocodiles, and other terrain while collecting gold and attempting to recapture treasure from rival crews. Gold is carried back to the players’ ships, and the player with the most treasure on board wins. The modular board creates a different island layout for each game.
