At Treasure Island you must take a Chance Card, most of these are Good and allow you to Take Treasure or Pick up extra Crew but beware there are Dangers as your Crew could desert you or your Crew and Treasure could be washed overboard and even Yellow Fever could outbreak etc
The Movement and Fighting strength of your Ship is governed by your Crew Cards .
This is a Great Game for young and Old as you Sail around the Map Fighting and Collecting Treasure.
The Box Art on the Box Lid is a Superb illustration as is the illustration on the inside
The Game is for 2-6 players, 8 years to Adult.
The Game is Complete and the contents are in Excellent Condition (additional paperwork not shown are under Game Rules)
The Box is in Good to Very Good Condition for its Age with excellent Graphics but does have some storage marks to the bottom of the box which look a bit worse than they are from the pictures.
This is a much sought after Version of this Classic Game ,not only because of the Artwork on the Box Lid and Inner Card and the nice Quality Treasure items which retained the Wooden Barrels of Rum which were later replaced by Plastic but it allows for upto Six Players to Play where later Versions were reduced to upto 4 Players.
