The two-player game by Emanuele Ornella takes us to the Caribbean. There is the small island of Martinique, according to legend is a popular hideout for pirates and buccaneers. The result that's where a lot of loot, including an unknown treasure that it gives to explore in this game and recover.

As "captain of a pirate ship" so to control two competing players, the island of Martinique and try to find the exact place where the legendary treasure. On the way they collect a lot more paraphernalia, will, if a suitable combination is found, tucked in the storage of their own ship.

The finds are all sorts of things that are of relevance in a normal life of pirates, including the obligatory parrot, daggers, skulls, Rumfässer, treasure chests and muskets. These will be designed before the game in any arrangement on the 64 fields big playground.

The legendary treasure is hidden by means of coordinates exist, the sink similar to "ships" of a letter and a number. These were determined at random and placed face down on the first scheduled for the solution fields at the edge. All other coordinates are also tiles face down on the set for fields on the field.

Collecting a player with one of his three characters a pirate coordinates a platelet, he knows that the corresponding row or column is not eligible for the Fund in question. The more of these tokens he collects, the closer he comes the solution.

The players alternately move their 4 pirate playing pieces to the island is largely grazed. Then the pirates land on a bar stool the central pirate-pub "The Hook" and talking there about the exact location of the treasure, they were able to determine not just yet.

Now, there against the seating order, who must first submit a tip to the locality. The competent player puts his favored by the pirates on his field. The others follow, until all 8 pirates leave their bar stools and have gone to a possible locality. The player with the pirate on the right field stands, wins the game. Should not a pirate are correct, the player who has loaded in the first stage of the game on the hardest-working implements in its cargo hold.

Somehow we have not been really warm with Martinique, even though the game a theme (pirates), has the one of our favorite scenarios. Perhaps it is because we expected the manufacturers claim "10 years" and about 30 minutes, more complexity. The game can be quite sure with much younger children do not always play and takes 30 minutes, but is played rather quickly. For the 30 minutes you can safely hinzuzählen building. We therefore recommend the editor to reconsider his age. Anyone who has children under 10 years should, however, necessarily give the game a chance.
