Jackal: Treasure Island

Players command pirate crews who disembark on an island made of interlocking tiles and search for buried treasure. On each turn players move pieces, explore tiles and resolve tile effects — forts, cannons, crocodiles, message bottles and hidden treasures alter movement and actions. Gold must be recovered from the island and carried back to a ship; additional components such as boats, cannonballs and a large gold coin introduce new tactical options. The set includes alternative tiles and expanded rules that let groups assemble larger, varied island layouts and play with optional scenarios and clarifications.
