Description (719 chars)

In Jackal the players take command of pirate bands disembarking on Treasure Island. Each player may move their selected pirate once per round. The players explore the island in search of treasure to load on board their ships, while trying to recapture treasure from each other at the same time. The object of the game is to load more gold onto your ship than any other player. The Jackal game board consists of squares with elements for an island map: jungles, gold chests, pointers for movement, crocodiles, forts, bullets, and so on. The board is initially set up in a random order, which means every game is its own unique and interesting adventure. Contents: 117 tiles, 4 ship-tiles, 12 pirates, 37 coins, rules
