Get ready for a new adventure in "Treasure Island: The Pirates Mark," an expansion that adds an extra layer of mystery and fun to the base game! If you enjoy uncovering secrets and feeling like a true pirate detective, this expansion is for you. Here, Long John Silver not only hid the treasure but also left invisible clues using a special UV ink pen. The treasure hunters will have to use a UV flashlight to find Silver's secret mark scattered across the board. Each mark found can provide that crucial hint about the treasure's location, making the hunt even more exciting and challenging.
This expansion brings new components that will spice up your games: markers for the pirates, a UV pen with a flashlight, and a special tile with the pirate's mark. It's the perfect opportunity for those who already love the base game and want more depth and new strategies. The hidden movement mechanic gets a new lease on life with the possibility of leaving invisible trails, and deduction becomes even more important. If you like games with a touch of mystery, investigation, and a dash of piracy, "The Pirates Mark" will win you over. It's an expansion that doesn't radically change the game but adds an intriguing element that can make all the difference when it comes to finding the gold chest. Get your flashlight ready and good luck with the hunt!
