Pirates of the Spanish Main

Each packet of the Pirates of the Spanish Main includes two ships, one island, about nine gold pieces, several crew and or special treasure tokens. The packet, about the size of a credit card, also contains assembly instructions, and quick and complete rules to play the game.

This is not a multifaceted war game, but a skirmish game, where players attempt to travel from their home islands (not included) to islands containing treasure to obtain as many treasure pieces before their opponents does. Whoever collects the most treasure pieces or sinks their opponent’s ships wins the game.

    I do not know of their scale or size. The miniatures were formally manufactured by Whiz Kids and are now out of production. The ships are printed on some type laminated material and fit together through the use of tabs. They are very nice models regardless of the scale. It is a shame that they are no longer in production.
