Pieces of Eight
Description
Jamaica passes laws to rid the Caribbean of pirates. The "Sodom of the New World" , Port Royal, was no longer a safe-haven - but a place of execution. It is under these conditions that eight of the most notorious pirates of the Caribbean decide to join forces...
New England 1690-1720
The Eight - as they had become known - had amassed a huge fortune running
contraband to and from the American colonies outside of the restrictions of the
Navigation Acts imposed by the English. The pirates enjoyed a free hand in the
region as the colonists turned a blind eye to their activities due to the
economic boon The Eight had contributed to. By 1720, the economy had grown to
such an extent that the now aging pirates were no longer needed or welcome...
New England 1722
The Eight vanish without a trace. Rumors persist of a pirate base off the coast
where they hid their ill-gotten gains.
Modern Day
You receive a package containing intriguing information about a mysterious
island off the coast of Portsmouth, New Hampshire... Can you decipher the clues
to find its location? Is this the long-forgotten base of The Eight?
