Pirates of the Caribbean Game of Life
Pirates of the Caribbean Game of Life is a variation on the traditional Game of Life. There are at least two versions of the game. One is a more generic, but more rare version that was only available for purchase at Disney theme parks. The other was released after the release of Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest. It was based on the movies and available at stores everywhere.
Both versions play a lot the same. Instead of professions, the player chooses a captain at the beginning of the game. The cars have been replaced with boats and players choose a ship card where players would be getting married in the original game. Instead of children, players get a mascot and the chance to switch boats.
New spaces include the Raid and Acquire Vessel spots. If a player land on Raid, that player and another player spin against each other. If the attacking player gets a higher number, they can take a certain amount of money from his opponent. Acquire Vessel allows a player to switch ships with another player while paying the difference in the prices between the two ships.
