About this deal

One player rolls the dice and then everyone chooses the card they want to play with those dice results. Look, if you’re looking for a deep strategy game with lots of things to consider and manage, this isn’t it. The Crew expansion also adds new treasure cards, including a 12 point treasure card which must be visible to all players. A press release claimed that the rules will be “slightly altered and streamlined” in a booklet format that will include coloured side tabs to make flipping through it a slightly less tedious experience.

Morgan has invited all of his old buccaneer buddies to race around the island in a bid to collect the most gold before the circuit is complete.

The icon in the upper left corner corresponds to the daytime action and the icon in the upper right corresponds to the nighttime action. Understand that this element is the heart of Jamaica – this isn’t a game of clever mechanics interlocking in equally clever ways. All treasure is added to your final score (positive or negative) and any gold left in your cargo counts for 1 point for each piece. The Captain starts another round by rolling the 2 dice and placing them on the board as the results for the morning and evening actions. That popularity has also led to a new edition of the base game, now in a traditional 30cm square box.

Besides a disregard for maritime laws, something all of them have in common is a broadly white European look. And if you’d run out of everything in your holds, you had to move back to a pirate lair space (because those don’t have a cost). The sea spaces are well defined and it’s easy to identify the food consumption needed for your crew. If the person does not have enough resources from their cargo hold to stay there, the player must go back one space and continue to go back until either they land on a space that has no payment or a payment they can afford.The player with the most gold (not necessarily the player who finished the race,) is declared the winner. Both players can spend gunpowder here to improve their rolls, and some treasures allow for re-rolls or bonuses on top of that.

Up to six salty seadogs (erm, players) can join the race: one lap around the island, the game end triggering when the first ship lands back in Port Royal. Each player receives a specified number of points based on where their ship finishes in the race (a white number in the corner of their space denotes how many points are received).Once the rest of the players have resolved the actions on their card, players draw back up to three cards, the first player (or captain) token moves to the next player and the sequence repeats. At its best, Jamaica is joyful but that requires you to give yourself up to the anarchy of the experience. That went well until the pirates brought all their fighting, drinking, womanizing, and looting issues with them.

From there, everyone takes three cards from their character deck into their hand and the captain (first player) of each round rolls two dice and assigns them to one of two spaces on the board; The morning space or the evening space. During setup each player selects a character and keeps the corresponding character deck in front of them, along with a long tile containing five spaces, or ‘holds’, for goods (doubloons, gunpowder and food). Once all players have taken their turn, players all draw another card to bring their hand back up to 3 and the Compass tile is passed to the player on the left who becomes the next Captain. Dicebreaker has reached out to Asmodee North America and Space Cowboys, who also publish Jaipur and Splendor, for more information. In the new version, you pay what you can and then you roll the shortage die and move back to the space showing on the die (port, sea, or pirate lair).The technical storage or access is strictly necessary for the legitimate purpose of enabling the use of a specific service explicitly requested by the subscriber or user, or for the sole purpose of carrying out the transmission of a communication over an electronic communications network. As you move, you’ll notice that many of the spaces on the board contain either little white squares or a gold circle with a number in it. To begin, each player places their ship at Port Royal, gets a cargo hold board, and takes the deck of cards matching their color.
