In the first Cartagena
game, the players, as pirates, attempted to flee prison by making their
way through a tunnel to a boat waiting for them at the end of the
tunnel. But simply reaching the boat does not mean they have escaped as
re-capture is always possible, perhaps, even likely. They will not be
really safe until they reach their Pirate's Nest on Tortuga.
Each player leads a group of pirates to Pirate's Nest on Tortuga.The
path leads the pirates through wild jungle and across the waters of open
ocean to the island of Tortuga. In addition to the innate perils of the
trip are the other pirates, as each group wants to be the first to
arrive at Pirate's Nest and will do what they can to slow the others'
progress. As soon as one player has all his pirates in Pirate's Nest, he
can raise the Jolly Roger and win the game.
