From the Wired.Com review of The Goonies 25th Anniversary Edition DVD Set:

".... the set’s true treasure - a special Goonies-themed board game.

The bulk of the box set’s real estate is devoted to this game, and immediately upon cracking open the shrink wrap you are taken by its diminutive size. Still, if The Goonies taught us anything it’s that size doesn’t always matter, and I’m happy to report that this is the case here. Though the board itself is only about half the size of your average game, it’s actually a brilliantly colored fold-up printed on super sturdy laminated stock that appears perfectly capable of standing up to multiple years’ worth of play sessions. The same can be said for the game’s Move Cards which, while not quite as brawny as most CCG cards, are thick enough to get the job done.

Gameplay is fairly simple and properly reflects the spirit of the source materials - players take the role of one of five Goonies (Mikey, Data, Mouth, Chunk or Andy) and use a three-card hand in an attempt to escape One-Eyed Willy’s cave. Players disarm traps to collect Gold Doubloons, and the first to reach the "Escape" square with three such Doubloons wins the game. The process is complicated by a trio of tricky Skull Spaces (only one of which contains the necessary key) that must be passed to reach the exit. This is balanced out by a fun selection of Special Move Cards that allow players to switch places with or steal gold from opponents. While certainly not the most engaging board game experience in movie fandom, it does manage to channel the proper amount of nostalgia and charm in a small but effective package."
