About the Game

A multiplayer board game of trust, betrayal, and survival—where every choice shapes not just your fate, but everyone else’s.

Race up the winding path and claim the treasure! Three other treasure hunters are competing beside you, but don’t get too confident: first place earns the most, last place earns the least… and if even one player falls, everyone pays the price.

Will your party cooperate long enough for all of you to escape with a share of the riches?
Or will greed, spite, and betrayal send the entire board collapsing beneath your feet?

Face off in the classic Prisoner’s Dilemma:

  • Cooperate: you both earn a small reward.

  • Defect: earn a bigger reward only if your opponent cooperates.

  • Both defect: everyone loses.

Simple rules. Messy consequences.

Take charge—or take the fall.
Become the Dictator and decide the fate of your fellow players. Or step up as Captain, distributing the crew’s points for the round.

But beware: the crew always votes on whether you deserve to stay in command.
Be unfair and you might get the boot!
