   Its really good fun and by the last round we have quite the crowd wanting to play. Each turn you play a card that features one or two animals that must match the previously played card, or draw an extra card or cards. What makes the game particularly interesting is that after each round the winner (person to play all their cards) pick one of two map tiles to put into play as a piece of the map and the other tile into play as a new rule. New rules can be quite simple such as making all of a card type wild or can make opponents draw more cards when certain conditions are met. Each round a new rule is added until somebody reaches the required 4 pieces of treasure map at which point they are declared the winner. I really like the animal pirate artworks and this is good fun, the only downside is the cards are not a sleeveable size.

   Sep18: Don’t play one round - continue playing as the rules change. Really does feel like dominoes meets dominion or fluxx. But gee the art and icons make it sooooo hard to play. I’d like a new simpler visual version and it would be a sure hit with families. Apr21: This should be a game every home has. It’s amazing at its heart... but the production and length kill it. Play til someone has won twice(?) and just colours and symbols please.

   Would be very nice for casuals or kids instead of pulling out an Uno or Phase 10 deck for the billionth time. Has good come from behind potential with the win condition rules that can come out.
