After Animalia, Jamaica will be the second game designed and published by GameWorks SàRL for the same insurance company ASSURA SA. Here again, the target was a family game for 2 to 6, age 8 and up, played in about an hour.
Jamaica has been released in fall 2007 and will be distributed in Germany by ProLudo.
The artwork will also be by Mathieu Leyssenne, who did a terrific job on Animalia.

Here's the story :
In 1675, after a long career in piracy, Henry Morgan skillfully gets appointed Governor of Jamaica, with the explicit order to cleanse the Caribbean of pirates and buccaneers !
Instead, he invites all of his former "colleagues" and comrades-in-arms to join him in his retirement, so they can enjoy the fruits of their looting in all impunity.
Each year, in remembrance of the "good old days", Morgan organizes the Great Challenge, a race around the island, and at its end the Captain with the most gold in his holds is declared Grand Winner.
