Bucko or Foe

by First Mate Connie

This game is more suited for older children, mainly teenagers. I made it up for my partners 21st, yet to see how it goes.

Basically I'm giving all guests a loot bag with five gold coins (amongst other stuff) and a letter that will be in the bag; it will explain the game:

"Ye have been given five gold doubloons for survival on tis journey.
Do not consider thyself lucky, for all av' been given equal.
Captain Hook be sure thar be foes onboard and he be determined t' discover them. Ye be required t' find who be bucko or foe.
Those not talkin' like a true pirate shall be foe. If ye find a foe take a doubloon from their pocket!
If by t' end o' t' journey ye be t' richest bucko, then ye be rewarded handsomely."

So basically, by the end of the party, whomever has the most golden coins wins.

also written in the letter:

"Also Captain hook has lost 'is precious silver doubloons aboard t' buffalo. It be o' great importance that they be found. If ye find all five and return them, ye be spared scrutiny. Captain Hook remembers having them last on t' deck."

For this part, perhaps u could hide the silver coins around the house or garden, or make a pretend ship deck.

We're having his party on a real, old boat, so it is all piratey-like already, lucky us lol :D

This sounds like it can be really good... but I think it could have been better by writing instructions that could be understood.

This sounds like a good game for adults, but i was wondering what you used for the gold dubloons?

How do you know who is a bucko and who is a foe?

Regarding the question below... the game says "Those not talkin' like a true pirate shall be foe" - so I'm guessing that "bucko" are the people who remember to talk like a pirate.

Whoever forgets to talk like a pirate (foe) has to give a bucko (someone who does talk like a pirate) a coin.

Then whoever has the most coins at the end, is the best bucko.
