Mutiny! The crew of the “Black Skull” is discontent with their captain. A new one is needed,
and this has always been accomplished in more of a bloodless way than many a pirate
story would have us believe. Filling the vacancy of the top spot is decided by playing. Only
a player who is most skillful with the pirate mallet will earn the crew’s respect. So, seize
the pirate mallets, you landlubbers, arrrrrh
The playing area is a frame divided
into 96 walled compartments. Each
of the 4 sides of the playing area has
a starting row with 8 compartments.
The bottom of the structure is made
from canvas. The balls are struck with
the pirate mallets from underneath;
when struck, they are to pop out of the
compartment, the goal being to reach
the destination row on the opposite
side as quickly as possible. The first
player to get to 7 or more points wins
this extraordinary dexterity game.
