Buccaneer (1938)

The idea of the game is to collect treasure to a total value of 20 points. A player may obtain treasure by three methods:
1) Sailing to Treasure Island and turning up Chance cards.
2) Sailing to other ports and trading.
3) By attacking other ships at sea.

The most notable feature of this game are the very nice treasure pieces. The diamonds, rubies and pearls look like small jewels.
