Description

In Jackal, you'll take command of a pirate band on Treasure Island, competing against other players to load the most gold onto your ship. With simple rules that can be explained quickly, you'll be exploring the island in no time, searching for treasure and trying to recapture it from your opponents. Each player can move one pirate per round, navigating through a modular board made up of random tiles, featuring jungles, gold chests, and other obstacles. The game is full of excitement and unpredictability, with every playthrough offering a unique adventure. With 2 to 4 players, you'll need to manage your actions carefully, using your pirates to outmaneuver your opponents and come out on top. The goal is simple: load more gold onto your ship than anyone else, and you'll be crowned the ultimate pirate champion.
