All the gold in the world.

It’s not too much to ask for, is it?

Gameplay Mechanics & Systems

Sure, there might be a few other scoundrels on the high seas with the same goal, but they’ve never had to deal with the likes of you. You’re a crafty one.

Bury your coin to keep it safe while you scout foreign islands and plunder their treasures. Be wise though, all good pirates know the value of a booby trap. Only your cunning and deductive powers can help you safely chart a map to the riches.
