Jake and the Neverland Pirates

Auf Schatzjagd

 

The young pirates, Jake, Izzy and Cubby, love to go on adventures and are rewarded for their success with doubloons; but for Capt’n Hook the children are simply a nuisance and he wants to prevent them getting their reward.

All six adventure cards are laid out, each of them depicts the three little pirates, always with a different color background. The doubloons are shuffled and spread face-down. In your turn you always turn over one doubloon at a time; if if shows one of the pirate children - Jake, Izzy or Cubby – you can turn over another doubloon and continue this until you have turned up two children of a kind. This ends you turn and you put all pirate children that you turned up onto corresponding spots on the adventure cards. If a card is completely filled you turn it over and put the number of doubloons that is depicted on the back into the treasure chest. If you have a pirate for whom there is no spot you can put him directly into the chest. But should you turn up Capt’n Hook you must also end your turn, but you must turn over all visible pirates to the doubloon side and place Hook next to the treasure chest.

You should keep careful count of the number of doubloons in the chest: When all players believe that there are ten doubloons in the chest and you check and are correct, all players win together. If you are out of doubloons or if Capt’n Hook is turned over for the 6th time and there are ten doubloons in the chest, all players win, too.

A bit of memory, a bit of chance, a bit of Disney, augmented by a few short rules and very pretty components – and presto! here we are with a nice, well-made game with standard mechanisms, nice and easy to play, good for a holiday on the beach and at the seaside.
