You are a corsair commanding a vessel navigating the oceans. The die tells you where to move around the island and when to land on it. The die can also activate or deactivate the Letter of Mark allowing you to double the coins you can win. You can attack the other players and fight for more coins.
The game continues until all the Treasure Island coins have been distributed to the players. The winner is whoever possesses the most coins at the end of the game.
There are no limits on the number of players or playing time, both can be increased or decreased as desired, as long as additional playsets and coins are available.
Expansions
The game sets are distinguished by the cardinal points, (N, E, S, W) and (NE, SE, SW, NW). Each set can be played by 2 to 7 players. By combining 2 game sets, the number of players can be increased to 14 vessels.
