[ Standing on the deck of a grand galleon rocking in the midst of clear, turquoise waves. In front of your boat is an island--deserted, of course--and next to the steering wheel you'll find two large chests, one filled with bags of gold and the other filled with dark, round, innocuous looking balls, as well as two maps--one clearly depicting the uncharted island in front of you, and the other--a treasure island. And apparently just for shits and giggles, there's a pile of pirate-themed accessories in your unit color(s) you can put on--eye patches, plastic swords and water pistols, fake stuffed parrots, bandanas, a Captain's hat--even a peg-leg or two.

Your phones chime and instructions to choose where to hide both the treasure and traps on your island based on your map appears. ]

[ Players, note that you have until 3pm PST/6pm EST to make sure your unit's card is completely filled out and ready to go! Feel free to thread out burying the treasure, just selecting the spots, or fighting over the accessories, whatever floats your literal boat. ]

Ah- I guess so? I heard some games did that, I haven't been in one myself.

Well, this seems like a nice enough game for a bit of jolly cooperation, at least.

I don't believe we've properly met; I'm Paloma.

Mm, pirate-themed seems innocent enough.

I'm Gold. It's nice to meet you.

A pleasure!

Do you have any particular feelings on the strategy of hiding these things, or just as we feel so moved?

[ A game that actually seems kinda interesting, Gold is perking up. ]

I think we could use both clumping and pairing our treasures with boobytraps nearby might be a decent strategy? I don't play too many boardgames like this though.

Mm, so if they find a treasure and try to dig around it to see if there's more, they'll run into a trap—or if they run into a trap, they're more likely to search other areas.

I like it, personally. Probably they'll also try the corners and the center first, just because people like to do that.

Mm, that's a good point. So we can set up traps specifically around those areas.
