Description

Players start from Europe and sail to distant countries to collect treasures and transport them back to Europe, in order to sell them.

Contents:

Board with an illustrated map of the world (exluding America) that is overlayed by a grid (for moving). The word CAPRICORN is written on the board and it has also spaces for stack of cards (black, red and yellow).
Three decks of cards:
- Black Action cards (e.g. "riot on a ship"),
- Red Item cards (e.g. "pumps, rations, compass...")
- Yellow Treasure cards (e.g. "gems, spices...")
Game money (banknotes), which is named Rix (in Alga's Swedish edition, however, the currency lacks a name).
A ship and a sailor carrying a gun and barrel (of rhum?) as playing tokens. The sailor represents an entire crew.
Die (Alga's Swedish edition contains two dice.)

This game was owned by Kuvataide Bildkonst and published in Finland; and then licensed to Alga for publication in Sweden; both events took place in the 1960's.
