Each card is numbered one through fifty five, with different ranges of numbers being colored one of six different colors. Players will collect and play these cards in an effort to reach distant and far lands. The core of the game lies in the navigation cards and how they affect a player’s voyage on the game board. Players compete to accumulate the most fortune while learning the diverse set of skills needed to gain the respect of the feared Madame Ching. Madame Ching takes this under utilized theme and invites the players to set off on their own adventure pillaging and plundering. Fun fact that I didn’t previously know: a junk is a type of sailboat! What I have been missing my whole life is the image of a revolutionary Robin Hood figure tooling around the South China Sea in a majestic junk. I mean, my exposure to real in-the-flesh pirates is non existent, but around these parts the romantic image of a pirate is a peg leg guy sailing a Galleon in the Caribbean.
It is no secret that I like pirates, but I feel as though my exposure to South China Sea pirates has been limited.
