Escape the Plank is a pirate themed race game for 2-6 players that takes about half an hour.

The board shows a ship with a U-shaped track with the plank on one end and a rowboat on the other. Start by placing your crew on the start space at the back of the ship. On each turn you'll roll the dice and move the crew along the track. You can move any crew you want, even if it belongs to someone else. If your crew gets pushed off the plank, it's out of the game. If your crew makes it to the rowboat, it's safe.

Once all of the crew is off the ship, whoever has the most crew in the rowboat wins the game.
