Pirates Backgammon

A pirate themed strategy game played on a Backgammon board. The four quadrants of the board are referred to as Outer Sea (points 1-6), Great Sea (points 7-12), Middle Sea (points 13 -18), and Inner Sea (points 19-24). There are three types of pieces used in the game – Pirates, Merchants, and Man-o-Wars. In addition, tokens are used to represent Gold Coins. The Pirate piece is used to collect Gold Coins. While gold is in the Pirate ship it is subject to being lost or plundered. When a player bears gold off the board, it is placed in the player’s Treasure Chest where it is safe. “The first player to accumulate 25 Gold Coins in his Treasure Chest is the winner.”
