PLAYED FOR YOU

Schatzinsel Ahoi!

On your way from to the treasure

And again there is an island to explore and treasures to discover and players begin the search for it. The board is spread out and next to it all 36 treasure island tiles are laid out face down, arranged in a grid of 6x6 tiles. If you want a more difficult game you can arrange the tiles in any way you like. Somewhere on the board you place the golden pirate coin that symbolizes the treasure and then all players put their markers around the coin, each marker must keep the same distance from the coin. Then players take turns in clockwise direction and turn up one of the treasure island tiles. When this tile corresponds to a square on the board which is next to the square that currently holds the player’s marker you can use this tile to extend your path to the treasure and place it onto the board orthogonally adjacent to your own marker and then place your marker on it. Then you have another turn and turn over another tile. When the tile you turned up does not take you any nearer to the treasure you turn it back over. If you are first to reach the gold coin you have found the treasure and won the game.

In this game it is very important to remember all tiles that you have seen, because you cannot enter tiles already on the board, so that you might have to take a detour and need to remember where to find a necessary tile. You need not use a tile that you turn up in case you have decides on another route to the treasure. A pretty memo game with the all-time favorite topic for children, pirates, which in play and very effectively trains spatial thinking when calculating the shortest way to the treasure.
