Square cards are used to create a layout of paths through a square "ocean" with the box (which is also the goal square of the game) at the center. The players' home islands/ starting squares are at the corners. The game's box is a molded plastic affair containing a voice chip; in turn, players push a button on top to hear a pirate voice give commands such as Rotate a card, Flip a card, Sail the Seas (move one space if you can), etc. First player to reach the treasure with his or her ship pawn is the winner.
