Play
- The youngest player plays first.
- Spin the spinner and move in either direction on the game path, according to the number spun.
- Two or more players may occupy the same space at the same time.
- There are five types of spaces on the board:
- a. Start space (yellow)
- b. Blank space (tan)
- c. Jolly Roger space (black)
- d. Coin space (gold coin)
- e. Key space (purple)
- Place your character pawn on a colored start space.
- If you land on a blank space, your turn is over.
- If you land on a Jolly Roger space, you say "I'LL BE STEALING SOME TREASURE!" Then you may take one Treasure Coin from any other player. Your turn ends.
- If you land on a coin space, you collect one coin from the large gold coin "Treasure Cache" in the corner of the game board.
The printed sheet shows an illustration for each space type, including the key space, but gives no written rule for landing on a key space. None is transcribed here.
