How to play?Players take turns until one of the players finds the treasure. As mentioned above, one player takes on the role of John Silver, who will play a major role in the game. At the beginning of the game, Silver chooses where to hide the treasure, and the other players position themselves on marked spots on the map.Players take turns, with the moves of the players and John being different. Silver is responsible for changing the days on the calendar and drawing event cards. He also answers the pirates' questions and gives hints when necessary, and sometimes even draws areas and clues on the map. The pirates are free to choose from a list of actions: they will move around the island on foot and on horseback, conduct searches, and gather more information about the treasure and the island. As the game progresses, the area for searching the treasure will shrink, and players need to make correct assumptions until the last turn of the game when John Silver makes his escape.

Who won?The conditions for victory depend on who you are playing as. The player controlling John Silver wins if he manages to escape and take the treasure, which can be a very challenging task. The player controlling a pirate wins if he manages to get the treasure before the others.
