Jamaica
Players pilot pirate ships in a 17th-century race around Jamaica, balancing forward progress with side trips for treasure and cargo. Each round, a captain rolls two dice to set “day” and “night” values while all players simultaneously choose one of three cards; each card’s left and right symbols resolve using the dice to move ships or load goods into five holds. Movement, loading and occasional ship-to-ship battles (resolved with a combat die and optional gunpowder tokens) determine position and loot. The race ends when a ship completes the circuit, then players score gold for finish position plus treasure and stolen goods; the highest total gold wins.

Garfield6.0 #57 Funny pirate game with a stunning design. But unfortunately very luck based :/ And almost no interaction between players (only some seafights) [c] Theme: :star::star::star::star::star: <!-- size 7]Great! --> Gameplay: :star::star::star::nostar::nostar: <!-- size 7]Not much you can do except playing a card --> Interaction: :star::star::nostar::nostar::nostar: <!-- size 7]Not really --> Luck: :star::star::star::star::nostar: <!-- size 7]A lot --> Strategy: :star::nostar::nostar::nostar::nostar: <!-- size 7]Try but you will fail --> Components: :star::star::star::star::nostar: <!-- size 7]Thick cardboard, big and thick cards --> Play duration: :star::star::star::star::star: <!-- size 7]Quite fast, even with 6 players --> Easy to teach: :star::star::star::star::nostar: <!-- size 7]Should be easy --> Setup time: :star::star::star::star::nostar: <!-- size 7]Fast --> No downtime: :star::star::star::nostar::nostar: <!-- size 7]ok --> [/c]
Another fun and family good game from Cathala. Pirate themed, easy to learn, fast and with gorgeous art. Cool!
