Yes! Now is your chance to hatch your evil plans to take over the world! Mwahahaha! Assume the role of a mad scientist and use the tools of your trade (evil obeying minions, dirty tricks, doomsday devices, humiliation, etc.) to accomplish your lofty ambition. After creating your immoral empire and doomsday device, you'll definitely want to issue a volley of terrible threats to the unsuspecting populace. You'll need to acquire more and more minions and resources in order to build an increasingly more powerful weapon that will allow you to threaten larger regions of the planet. Unfortunately for you, you're not the only kook out there that is driven to rule the world. So next, you'll need to employ whatever tactics are necessary to cow the opposition. Humiliation should work nicely here! And you might as well send out some lackeys to steal resources from your rivals.

Ahoy Matey! Dare you leave the safe haven of your port and set sail for the adventures of the high seas? Steer your way through the islands as you attempt to search for treasure. Beware of danger though, as you must avoid nefarious marauders, treacherous sea monsters, horrible hurricanes, and the infamous black spot. You must try to set sail with the wind on your back, as speed is your friend as you venture from island to island to bury your treasure. The compass spinner will decide the wind direction and the dice determine the amount of spaces you will travel. If you decide to go with the wind, you can double the amount of spaces you travel, thus having the advantage of speed. Once you draw a crew card from the skull card deck, you gain a ship which allows you to roll with two dice, rather than only one. The Skull cards consist of 70 cards divided among nine different categories, some of which will help you and some that may lead to your demise. Only the swiftest, shrewdest, and most daring pirate will be the last one standing! Savvy?

There are also several variants of the game, so players can keep it interesting. So, if you think you can follow such rules as keeping both arms in the air until your next turn, speaking in slow motion until your next turn, or a combination of rules of this nature, then this challenging game is for you! The illustrations on these cards are meant for adults only and are not intended for a younger audience.

Free Merlin's spirit from the diabolical sorceress Vivienne! She has entrapped his spirit within an old oak tree and your quest is to emancipate his spirit by embarking on a journey.

At your discretion, you will select the individual wizard you want (there are six different wizards to choose from) and travel with his corresponding spiritual path, so to speak. Your task consists of collecting four items (talismans) that belong to your wizard, which includes a staff, an amulet, a wizard hat, and familiar. All of this is accomplished while traversing the maze on the game board. Once attained, you are elevated from apprentice to wizard and must therefore navigate to the middle of the maze to fulfill the final task of releasing Merlin from the spell of Vivienne.
