About this deal

Point treasures are kept secret from other players, while power treasures are revealed and left face up in front of the player for as long as they own the card. If you have the original version, a little sharpie action can remedy the situation nicely if you want to play by the new updated rules). Then imagine you did that only for someone else to land, attack your ship, steal a random treasure and take that cursed treasure off your hands for you. If we can’t afford to pay that cost, we get cleaned out of whatever possessions we have available and then kicked backwards until we reach a space we can afford.

Become the richest pirate as you battle your rivals, detour for treasure, and sail towards the finish line. Both players can spend gunpowder here to improve their rolls, and some treasures allow for re-rolls or bonuses on top of that.The winner may steal goods or treasure from the loser, or they may give the loser a cursed treasure. Jamaica scores high on our “let’s play again” game meter because of the fun and light piratey race it is. If a movement symbol is shown the player must move his ship forwards (green) or backwards (red) the number of spaces shown by the action die. In one turn of Jamaica, with the right number and mix of players, there’s more laughter and shouting and recrimination than in an hour of many others.

Others say that it’s boring, nothing more than roll and move, and a horrible luck fest that no one over the age of ten can possibly enjoy. They can use it to propel themselves into combat like the H ermes getting a gravity assist on its way back to Mars. It’s worth noting that there was an expansion produced for this game several years ago that has never been reprinted. If I want something light and whimsical with just enough sea-salt to make it interesting then Jamaica is a solid choice.Gamer Network Limited, Gateway House, 28 The Quadrant, Richmond, Surrey, TW9 1DN, United Kingdom, registered under company number 03882481. Every time your ship lands on a space you must pay the cost depicted on the board; either food or doubloons shown as small white squares or numbered golden circles, respectively. Dicebreaker has reached out to Asmodee North America and Space Cowboys, who also publish Jaipur and Splendor, for more information.

It’s pretty much a straight race to the finish line, but with some back and forth that enables you to gather or lose the victory points you need to win. This simplicity mixed with some strategic options makes Jamaica ideal for groups that contain both hardcore gamers and newbies. End of Round Each player takes the top card of their action deck and the compass moves to the next player clockwise, who is now Captain.Each time the pirates meet, they will have to fight to try and steal the contents of each other’s holds.
