Treasure Island: The Mystery of John Silver

"– Finally, it's come to my oak head, – said Silver. – This is a compass: there’s the peak of Skeleton Island sticking out like a tooth. Now check where these bones are pointing!

They checked. The dead man was pointing straight at the island, and the compass showed east, southeast, and east."

"Treasure Island: The Mystery of John Silver" is a thrilling tabletop game about treasure hunting on a deserted island, built on bluffing and interaction with the map.

In the game, you will try your hand at searching for hidden treasure. Only one player, taking on the role of John Silver, knows where it is located... The other players are pirates who have turned against Long John, captured him, and are interrogating him for the location of the treasure.

The whole crew sets out to the island to retrieve the treasure. But will Silver tell the truth? Surely this seasoned sea wolf cannot be trusted. Perhaps he is leading everyone on a false trail, only to suddenly escape, take the treasure, and set sail from the island!

The game components are incredibly beautiful and atmospheric – inside you will find beautiful screens for players, a wonderful double-sided map of the island, a treasure chest, special rulers, markers, a compass, and much more! Your journey will be truly bright and unforgettable!

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.
