3.0 out of 5 stars AAAARRRGHH MATEY! YE PLUNDERED ME $35 GOLD PIECES!, August 21, 2006

Well, this is an interesting game to say the least.

The basics of the game are as follows:

You roll a die and move around a map trying to obtain more booty cards (rum, gold or silver) to match your treasure hunt card. Once you have enough, the game will tell you where you need to sail to bury your treasure. You can fight, plunder and dock at islands to get more booty cards. But be careful, you can lose these cards too!

Land on any space on the map and check your coordinates from the DVD to see if you've found anything.

Other than the red ship, the other 3 look almost the same so it's kind of hard to tell exactly what ship is what.

Also, going to the DVD remote every single turn really drags the game out. Yes it is entertaining for about the first 10 minutes, then after that, it just gets tedious. You input your coords, you wait for the scene to load, you watch the scene, you click out of the scene to go back to the main menu so you can do it all over again.

A typical turn is like this:

Roll dice...move ship...attack if you can...go to a port if you can...if not, enter coords on DVD and see if you've found any booty...next persons turn.

Cool idea, but fun really only fun for about 15 minutes, then it just gets old.

Save your booty and buy the movie on DVD when it comes out for more entertainment than this.

1.0 out of 5 stars AVAST! THIS IS ONE REALLY BAD EGG, SO DON'T DO ANYTHING STUPID, September 7, 2006

This review is from: Pirate of the Caribbean DVD Treasure Hunt (Toy)

Bein' the pirate that I be, I thought 't would be an entertainin' piece o' treasure that I might be sharin' with me 3 little scallywags on some balmy, moonlit summer's eve. Me mouth a-waterin', I rips open the shrink-wrap to uncover a fine-looking, scrolled-up treasure map. I palmed the four pewter, ship-shaped pirate tokens and marvelled at the detailed design of the gaming cards. Me timbers were a' shiverin, mateys! Then, I commandeered the DVD remote from me landlubber of a mate and...Mother's love! It was like bein' marooned on an island and a'wonderin' why all the rum was gone! Things wasn't what they appeared to be, and repeated attempts to etablish an accord with me brain, the DVD presentation and the rules (more like guidelines) allowed me to see things as they truly be. Try as we might, try as we may, me and the offspring had to admit that we wasn't havin' not one bit o' fun. The ashes of false laughter filled our mouths as we took turn after turn striving for whatever profit was in it for us. It was then we realized we were cursed consumers. I be, therefore, disinclined to recommend this loot to ought but the likes of Davey Jones hisself. It was our intention to board our token ships, land on the map-- on Tortuga!--raid, pillage, plunder and otherwise... just have lots and lots of swashbucklin' fun! Instead, we just...feel...cold. That's what you call ironic.

5.0 out of 5 stars The whole family loved this game!!, December 27, 2006

I appreciate the previous reviews, but we had already gotten the game by the time I read them. My family - ages 4, 6, 10 and three adults playing really enjoyed this game. We played until we had a winner (not too long)and then everyone remaining wanted to play to get a second place winner. Just our opinion - but we had a good time!
