Ravensburger Spiele Minis: Piraten-Schatz 2011

"Spiele Minis" is a series of small surprise boxes (i.e., you don't know what you get) from Ravensburger. They are meant to be carry-on or gifts, suitable for children ("Mitbringspiel"). Some of the cubes contain actual games, others contain magic tricks, puzzles etc.

"Piraten-Schatz" ("Pirate's Treasure"?) is a small roll-and-move game where players compete to collect the most treasure cards. First, a circular board is laid out randomly using the treasure cards (containing treasures in the range from 1-6). Players take turns rolling a d6 and moving the pirate ship clockwise along the treasure cards. When the ship stops at a card, the player may take it if his die result is equal or higher compared to the treasure card. Alternatively, the player may place the conch on the treasure card and roll a second time, potentially getting a second treasure card (or none at all!). The player with the most treasure cards in the end wins the game.

The box contains 21 treasure cards, a wooden pirate ship, a small plastic conch and a die.
