About the game

What you do in a play session

After the first twist‑filled adventure, Captain Long John Silver seeks shelter on an island he knows well: Revenge Island. The snag? An English garrison controls the area, and shortly after hiding a precious treasure, Silver ends up behind bars again. This expansion adds two fresh boards – a re‑imagined original map and the brand‑new Revenge Island – plus a module titled "The Tricks of Silver." The module introduces brand‑new cards for Long John, such as corrupt soldiers, treacherous weather, and even a ghost twin, upping the bluffing and deduction stakes. Core mechanics stay the same: hand management, line drawing to plot routes, measurement‑based movement, secret unit placement, and storytelling that drives the game. Each player commands a captain with variable powers, forming teams that compete or cooperate to achieve goals before Silver escapes the English jail. Components are immersive, featuring detailed miniatures and high‑quality cards, though they still require translation for non‑English speakers. Playtime hovers around 45 minutes, suitable for 2‑5 players, and the light complexity (weight 2/5) welcomes both newcomers and veterans of exploration and bluffing games. If you love pirate adventures, Robert Louis Stevenson’s tale, and deduction challenges, Revenge Island injects fresh air into the base game while preserving the treasure‑hunt vibe and Silver’s mischievous antics. Set up your map, hide the loot, and try to outwit the captain’s tricks before he makes a run for it!
