New Agin!

Game Number one: "Incan Gold"
An actual new bought game to start the young annum aright. Goodie! Dr Kirby brought this one in. Here we see Blame Games 2 card hand at the ready to explore an Incan temple and make off with the "jools" before any other Independant Jones can beat him to the goods. Cards are laid out on a "temple pyramid" format. Players then enter and see who can hang around longest and pick up the most treasure. First out picks up all the loose gems on the path. Other gems are divided equally amongst the hardy archeaologists (i.e. robbers) who hang in. If two of the same hazard cards are drawn everyone left in the temple gets bupkiss. This goes on for 5 rounds and then whoever has amassed the biggest pile of loot in his tent wins.

Here we see the happy king o' thieves hisself, Blame Game. Walked away lucky with a hillock of precious stealin's. A good romp although low on the scale of factual historical tutelage. (Like the crew cares about that!)
Game two: "Trade Winds"
Avast me hearty's! Here be yet another entry in a long list of piratical testings! An oldie moldy to boot. This dates from 1960 practically a time when the Spanish Main was still beset by buccaneers!
Each player gets their own ship and home port to which they try and ship loads of gold, rum, pearls and jewels. Port raids! Broadsides! Foul weather, Plague! DAAARGH! This be the stuff of sailin'!


Here we see Cap'n Red Frog lootin' the central Isle of it's booty! Smart as paint he was and showed the whole crew how a game of freebootery should be played!



Yes, he brought back to home port all the gold dubloons his galleon could carry and scuppered the bilge rats around him! Good fer ye,Cap'n Red Frog! And may home port always be a cove of rest and comfort for yer salty bones! Arrgh!
