Game Description:
'Buccaneer' is a Waddington's best-loved board games. In production from the 1930's until the 1980's, it was a family favourite for over 50 years.
The game is a race to collect various types of treasure, all of which has a different value,and get it back to your home port before your opponents.
Along the way you will have to deal with unexpected events (unfavourable winds, Yellow Fever etc.) and the risk of being attacked by your fellow pirates!
The winner is the first pirate to accumulate 20 points worth of treasure back at his home port.
This edition is the second version of the game. The rules are identical to the first edition - the main difference being the introduction of smaller ships and treasure, and a mounted board.
The game we currently have for sale, pictured on this page, is a rare 6-player edition from the 1950's. This edition was the last to come with the playing pieces contained in their own small box and a separate, heavyweight game board.
The game is complete with all of the original treasure (rubies, diamonds, pearls, gold bars and wooden barrels of rum) and, apart from some wear to the board, is in very good condition.
