BLUFFANEER

The legend of the Bluffaneer was thought to be lost at the bottom of the deep, dark sea. It was a tale of a rowdy pirate crew who plundered gold far and wide. With treasure in short supply, they devised a game of chance to rob your riches and grab your gold, and the Bluffaneer was born! Kids roll the bone dice and bluff their way through each round on their quest to steal the most treasure. Yarrrrr!
