What this is
In Jamaica, players race around Jamaica to claim its spoils. Beware. The fastest doesn't always win. Goal: The game ends on the turn when at least one player's ship reaches the finish line, completing one circuit around the island of Jamaica. Each round, one player is designated as "captain," with the next clockwise player being captain in the following round, and so on.
