Long John Silver's crew has committed mutiny and has him cornered and tied up! Round after round, they question him about the location of his treasure and explore the island following his directions — or perhaps his misdirections? Who knows... The old sea dog is surely planning an escape, after all, after which he will definitely try to get his treasure back. Treasure Island is a game of bluffing and adventure in which one player embodies Long John, trying to mislead the others in their search for his treasure. The hunt reaches its climax with Long John's escape, when he will make a final run to get the booty for himself!

After a first adventure full of twists and turns, Captain Silver takes shelter on an island he knows well: Revenge Island! Unfortunately, an English garrison controls the area, and soon after having concealed a precious treasure, Silver ends up in jail once again. With a new island to discover and a new "The Tricks of Silver" module that includes new cards for Long John Silver — corrupt soldiers, worrying weather, a ghost twin... — it's up to you to overcome his tricks and achieve your goals before he escapes from the English jails! In addition to the new module for Captain Silver, the Treasure Island: Captain Silver – Revenge Island expansion contains new immersive components and two new maps: Revenge Island, and an original re-interpretation of the existing map. —description from publisher

Kind of Scotland Yard variant deduction race game by the designer of Yamatai. The player who is playing the role of Long John Silver has a separate map to secretly mark the location of the treasure. The other players (pirates) race over the island to find the treasure first and in time while given clues by Long John Silver. What makes it special? * Movement and search is done by drawing on the board with erasable markers. * Clue cards sometimes combined with truth tokens are chosen by Long John Silver to give information about the location of the treasure + Artwork (colorful, Vincent Dutrait) + Components (two sided board and mini map with erasable marker, circle, diverse shaped plastic stencils) + Theme (pirate, based on Treasure Island novel) + Several clue cards chosen by Long John Silver which provide some spatial information about the treasure (usually depending on the current location of the pirates) + Truth tokens are used to secretly mark some played clues as true or false (some actions allow a player to look at the token) + Searches and movement is done by drawing an erasable marker on the board. For movement a line is drawn from your current location with a ruler. For search, a circle is drawn around your current location. + Different characters with special abilities + Family game + Quick playing time + Easy to teach + Scales well with all player counts # Rulebook is good # Hidden information: location of the treasure, vague clue cards # Language dependent - It is hard to win as Long John Silver Similar games: * Cryptid (abstract deduction race game)
