Jamaica: The Crew is an exciting new expansion for the popular game Jamaica. It brings in a set of 20 new characters, each with unique special powers. These characters add a lot of fun to the game without major rule changes. You can hire them when you can afford the harbor fee, and they are 'loaded' just like other resources. Adding several characters to your boat can be very tempting as most of them earn you extra gold at the end of the game. However, with fewer holds for regular resources, navigation gets a bit tricky. This expansion offers more challenging yet silly fun that you love in Jamaica. It's the first expansion for Jamaica, adding variety and excitement to your games, and requires you to carefully balance increased abilities with less resource - holding space.

To use this expansion, first make sure you have the base game Jamaica. When you're in the game and can afford the harbor fee, you can hire the new characters. Just load them onto your boat like you would with other resources. At the end of the game, most of these characters will earn you additional gold. But be careful! Since they take up cargo space, you need to think about how many characters to add and how much space to leave for regular resources. There aren't any special maintenance steps for this expansion, but keep the game components in a dry and safe place to make sure they last a long time. Also, make sure to follow the normal rules of the Jamaica game when using this expansion.
