4.0 out of 5 stars Fun to play here and there!
Really enjoyable children's party game. The game itself and rules are fun. You set up foam squares, one person gets the foam sword, and you all take turns spinning the wheel to move spaces with the hopes of not getting pushed off into the sea, and getting the person with the sword off instead. There is a lot of imagination behind it and some of the fun comes from that.The set up however is a long line of foam pads, they are fairly light weight and move easily. Everything gets a little messy, but I suppose that's part of the fun. I see it more as something that will come out occasionally but I don't think it completely beats the classic game of don't touch the floor.
3.0 out of 5 stars Fun Game, Need More Players
Fun little pirate game. Easy to play, doesn't have any little pieces to assemble, or need batteries, which is great! Your floor becomes the sea, and you set up the foam tiles as the 'plank'. You take it in turns to use the spinner, and complete silly challenges while trying not to 'fall in', and the last one standing wins. Great for keeping kids up and active, and practicing their balancing. The reason for my 3/5 stars is because that even though it says 2-4 players, I think you need more than this. My little girl played it with her cousins, and if there had just been 2 of them playing, it would have been over quickly and a bit boring. It means she won't get to play the game as much as she would like, which is a shame. I think it would be more suited to bigger families, or a great party game, or I can see it working well in a nursery/school etc.
5.0 out of 5 stars So much fun
This is such a fun game. You line up the foam squares that make up the plank and line up behind them. The player who is the pirate goes to the back of the line. Each player then spins the spinner and moves to the first square with the corresponding sea creature. Once on the plank you treat the area around as the sea. A player can stand on the same square or pass asking as long as one foot is always on the plank. Players should also mimic the actions of the sea creature they land on.After everyone’s turn the pirate spins the spinner. He must spin a black flag to move, then move how many the flags count is. If he lands on a square a player is on or passes a player he taps them with his sword and they must fall into the sea. They then have to do the actions of swimming around.On the second round each player takes their turn again, but if they spin a black flag the pirate has to move first before the player does.If after a turn there is no corresponding creature ahead of you you fall off the plank into the sea. There is a reverse square that if the pirate lands on he heads back to the start. Any player that then passes him can push him off the plank and the game is over. Players in the sea can also be saved, they still spin the spinner on their turn and can spin to rejoin the plank or another player can save them. A really funny game especially if you get everyone involved with doing all the action
2.0 out of 5 stars Overpriced, too complicated to play
I'm really not very impressed with this game from Goliath. The 'plank' consists of 16 thin foam squares that have to be laid out in order before the game can start which is quite time consuming and takes up a lot of space. Feet also sometimes get stuck to the squares causing them to move out of place during play which causes frustration. You have to have a minimum of 3 players to play which is an odd number, normally would be 2 plus. Many rules to the game which my little ones struggled to be able to follow. Personally wouldn't recommend.
5.0 out of 5 stars Fun immersive game.
So many laughs and so much fun walking the plank! My niece and nephew love pirates and this is one of their favourite games. Expect laughs and giggles, it's such a fun immersive game.

Fun for a bit
My kids liked this game for a little bit. After a couple times not so much. I didn't pay a lot for the game so it was worth it. But if it was 14 or more, I'd say it's not worth it.
