How To Play Jamaica

In February 1678, Henry Morgan, after a prolific career in piracy, ingeniously maneuvers himself into the position of Governor of Jamaica. Instead of adhering to his mandate of expelling pirates and buccaneers, he extends a welcoming hand to his former comrades-in-arms, inviting them to settle on the island where they can revel in the spoils of their exploits without fear of repercussion. Three decades later, a grand event known as the Great Challenge is organized to commemorate Morgan's appointment in grand fashion: a thrilling race encircling the island, culminating in victory for the crew with the largest hoard of gold. All are invited to join the fray!
