[game description deleted] I played the game, although it was by "Waddington Games" (British) and was called "Buccaneer" (I think). From the notes on the box it was invented either during, or before WW2, and probably in England. My guess is that it was licensed to Parker Bros for US distribution. I played it 15 years ago so my memory is a bit shaky. And yes, it was a great game. Unfortunately I don't have a copy. -- ---------------------------------------------- Geoffrey Phipps phipps@cs.stanford.edu Dept of Computer Science, Stanford University, CA 94305 USA h +1-415-326-0739 w +1-415-723-3088
