About this deal

We don’t have any information at the moment about any transitions of Jamaica to the digital platform (iOS and android). We will let you know about it as soon as possible if there is any news. Most times the home bases have the same as popular Jamaican restaurants, animals, attractions, cities or Jamaican parishes. Ludi is great for playing with your entire family, age is not a concern, and may heighten or develop your strategic thinking skills. If you are staying at a villa, or guesthouse they probably will have a Ludi board around. When a player’s final space already contains a ship, they must first Battle before paying anything for the space. The first player to land on one of these spaces can remove the treasure token from the board and take a treasure card from the pile in the middle of the board. These treasure cards can be extra victory points (booty), an extra hold for your ship or combat bonuses. However, there are also ‘cursed’ treasure cards, which subtract from your final score. Combat & a hint of Strategy

Sarah’s Saber– Allows that player to re-roll their own combat die or to make their opponent re-roll their’s. In a theme a little too close to home, rival pirate captains are looking to cash in on one final score before retiring to a sweet private island with piña coladas and that sweet pirate booty. Randomly select a first player. He gets the compass and the 2 action dice and is Captain for the first turn.

Oh clever goblins, will you be able to avoid the wrath of the Dark Lord (Rigor Mortis, the Master of all Evils) while he wanders in his study? Terrible spells will be cast upon those who are hit by the glances of the Dark Lord!

Treasure: affect the score at the end of the game, positively for treasures or negatively for cursed treasures. Each player gets 4 men (counters) to move on the board. Each square is a player's base and each triangle a player's home. Most if not all Jamaicans would think that the game was created by us. But just as our motto says, out of many one people, it is true to our culture. The sea battle has already taken place. Skelit’s Revenge, the legendary ghost ship has been bested. You and your crew have set it ablaze and crippled it. It’s dead in the water. If the final space of the move is occupied, combat must immediately take place. After any combat, the cost of the space must be paid.

Game Turn

Players will struggle through 10 different scenarios, such as fighting the dreaded Kraken or even just your run-of-mill pirate pillaging and looting. And, if you ever need a trustworthy, friendly and knowledgeablelocal guide, consider booking a private tour with us! Space Cowboys and Asmodee published a new version of Jamaica just a few weeks ago (Nov 2021) and we’ve given it a spin. The game ends when a player crosses the finish linen. Players earn gold for their finishing location, treasure they still have in their possession, and gold on their ship. The player with the most gold (not necessarily the player who finished the race,) is declared the winner. What Do We Think of Jamaica?

Alright! So, you are fascinated enough by the game and want to give it a try and play with your family and friends. An island is made of 40 hex-tiles and it’s slowly sinking into the ocean (as the tiles removed from the board). Players can either swim or use boats to travel but must beware sea serpents, whales and sharks. If a player finishes his move on a square where there is already another ship, there is a fight (if there are several ships there, the player chooses his opponent). The final step to how to play Jamaica setup before getting into gameplay is to determine a starting player. Use your randomizer of choice to decide. Give that player the compass token and the 2 six-sided action dice. This is the “captain”.Take the numbered 6-sided die with the explosion symbol in the circle in the middle of the gameboard in the circle (the fortress). We have to mention the components of the game. It’s money well spent with gorgeous modular ships and everything is produced well. What Could Be Better: The aim of the game is for each player to get all four of their counters to home. The first player to accomplish that wins. Easy right? A player can have more than one treasure card, and any treasure can be stolen or given during combat.

You get positive points (treasure) and negative points (curses) for all of the treasure cards that you have collected or been forced to acquire, throughout the game.If you do not roll a 6, the play or turn passes to the next player and you will have to try again on your next turn. He must then pay the cost of the new space. If the space is already occupied there is a battle first. As we mentioned before, this game is played in rounds. Round consists of the following: Throwing Action Dice While there are many options, each player only has 3 cards in their hand each round. So your choices do have a limit. Plus, you’re beholden to the dice rolled and the way the Captain places them on the board. So you must make your best choices based on the number results set out by the Captain. Treasures modify a player's score at the end of the game (cursed treasures negatively). They are placed facedown by a player's holds and only revealed at the end of the game.
