With just the two of us it turned into more of a straight up race, with me slowing down a few times to load up on doubloons which ended up winning the game. With more players and more chance for combat the game would be more chaotic and the choices would open up a bit, I think.
This one is hanging around for awhile, for sure.

As for German-style racing games I'd recommend Top Gear (the Abacus edition), Ausgebremst (an evolution of Ave Caesar), or Um Reifenbreite (classic SdJ winner, hitch rides, dope up, and win the race).

I can't imagine playing with a table of adults, unless they were all hammered.
Played with three, almost certainly better with more.
The rules are in a funky format, but you probably won't have to refer to them much.

Snap out of your German rediscovery already (there is nothing old school German about this game) and some of these games are as dreary as they ever were. i get that you don't want to play overinflated stuff like Runewars anymore (i don't either, I also have a wife and two small kids) but, snap out of it already and save your money. there are better games to play. somebody's gotta say it!

I'm waning on it already, mainly because I've already got two classic race games (Mississppi Queen and Ave Casear) and I was thinking about getting one of the Kramer ones. But it does look like something my kids would like, which is why I was thinking about it in the first place. They can manage pretty advanced stuff for their age with help and some rules butchery. They like races, they like pirates, and it's such a good looking game. I'll hold off for a trade sometime.
Um Reifenbreite is a little ahead of them though, I think.

Never played Pirate's Cove, but is it good for kids/families? Hey, we like Ticket to Ride and Zooloretto.

I am interested in games in that style, including the newer ones (like Origin, Lords of Vegas and Splendor), I thought this might be one.
But all told, I would rather go back to the real deal. Mid-1990s. So you are kind of right. Kind of.
