Buccaneer was a board game published in Britain by Waddingtons between the 1930s and 1980s. The game board depicted the sea, broken into squares. Around the edges were ports, some owned by players, others being "free ports". At the centre was Treasure Island, upon which was placed semi-realistic looking treasures: diamonds, rubies, pearls, gold bars, and rum barrels. Players could attack other players' ships during the game and capture their treasure or crew. The number of spaces a player could move and outcomes of battles were decided on the crew cards held in the hand of each player.
