In Tortuga, you are a swashbuckling buccaneer trying to safely transport your treasures to the legendary pirate haven of Tortuga before other buccaneers, your fellow players, can capture it from you. Players simultaneously roll their dice and assign them in order to put boats in the water, fire off the cannons, gather more crew, engage the enemy at close quarters, or move their treasure ever closer to safety. Players are rewarded for their ability to adapt and their quick decision making skills - a little luck and a hint of greed never hurt a buccaneer either! Think you can captain your crew better than any of the other sea dogs at the table? If so, grab a cutlass and set sail on the rolling seas in Tortuga - a quick-paced family dice game for 2-4 buccaneers (aged 8 and above) that plays in around 30 minutes! Yo ho ho!
