The Caribbean (/ˌkærᵻˈbiːən/ or /kəˈrɪbiən/; Spanish:Caribe; Dutch:Caraïben; Caribbean Hindustani: कैरिबियन (Kairibiyana); French:Caraïbe or more commonly Antilles) is a region that consists of the Caribbean Sea, its islands (some surrounded by the Caribbean Sea and some bordering both the Caribbean Sea and the North Atlantic Ocean), and the surrounding coasts. The region is southeast of the Gulf of Mexico and the North American mainland, east of Central America, and north of South America.
The island has an area of 21 square kilometres (8.1sqmi). In the 2001 census, the population was recorded as 3,543 inhabitants, with a population density of 169 inhabitants per square kilometre. The official language is Dutch, but English is the "language of everyday life" on the island and education is solely in English. A local English-based creole is also spoken informally. Travellers to the island by air arrive through F.D. Roosevelt Airport.
Caribbean is a 2004 board game designed by Michail Antonow and Jens-Peter Schliemann.
Rules
Caribbean is a game for two to four players, taking place in the Caribbean in the 18th century. Six pirate ships, named Arriba, Bravo, Caribic, Diabolo, Evita and Fuego, sail the waters, intent on plundering treasure from ports both on the continent and on several islands. The players are looking to make as much profit as possible from this plundering.
However, the players do not have direct control over the ships - their pirate crews work independently, and so the players have to bribe them with barrels of rum to get to issue them orders. To this end, each player has seven cards, each containing a different number of barrels. Six of these are numbered from 0 to 5, and the seventh is a special "robber" card, numbered -1.
At the start of a round, each player assigns six of their cards, in secret, to the six pirate ships, deciding on how much rum they want to bribe each ship's crew with. After this, the players go through the ships one by one, revealing their bribes for the ship in question. The player with the highest bribe gets to move the ship, as many places as there are barrels on their bribe card. In case of a tie, the players may opt to reveal their seventh card as a tie-breaker. This tie-breaker may only be used once per round. If another player has assigned the "robber" card to the ship in question, one barrel of rum is stolen from the player with the highest bribe.
A Caribbean person or West Indian is a native or inhabitant of the Caribbean region or a person of Caribbean descent. The Caribbean region was initially populated by Amerindians from several different Carib and Arawak groups. These groups were decimated by a combination of overwork and disease brought by European colonizers. Descendants of the Arawak and Carib tribes exist today in the Caribbean and elsewhere but are usually of partial Native American ancestry.
In 1728, Dick Lindsay is taken prisoner by Captain Barclay and incarcerated aboard the Black Panther, his pirate ship. Also on board against his will is Robert MacAllister, nephew of Barclay's arch-nemesis, Andrew MacAllister.
The pirate kidnapped Robert as retribution for MacAllister having long ago done likewise to Barclay's infant daughter, Christine. The feud has continued for more than 20 years. Now the pirate intends to settle it once and for all. He propositions Dick to impersonate Robert and return to his uncle, going so far as to duplicate a distinctive scar on Robert's face.

Should You Visit St. Eustatius? - Watch This and Find Out.
Nicknamed the "Golden Rock" because of its history as a free port in the Caribbean and all the riches that passed through its port, St. Eustatius today is more than the sleepy little island most portray it to be. You can definitely do some relaxing but you can also hike a dormant volcano, enjoy great food and wine, explore historic monuments, relax on black sand beaches, discover an amazing underwater world, and stay at great accommodations, from budget-friendly and locally owned B and B's to a luxury resort and everything in between.
CORRECTION: the ruins in this video are NOT of a holding space for slaves but a warehouse for goods according to a volunteer at SECAR, St Eustatius Center for Archeologic Research

4. Visit Fort Oranje, a beautifully restored Dutch Colonial Fort that is perched over Statia’s harbor and waterfront.
5. Learn more abut the history of St. Eustatius at the Historical Foundation Museum.
6. Eat some of the local cuisine, especially if you can find the street vendors! It’s so good!

8. Explore the waterfront! Snorkel, eat, explore, or maybe even go for a scuba diving tour.
9. Hike the Quill, a dormant volcano and dominant feature on the island. There are many trails to choose from!
10. Spend an afternoon at the Miriam C. Schmidt Botanic Garden. It is small, but beautiful! It also has plenty of facilities!
11. Check out Statia’s White Wall, an interesting natural geologic formation.
12. While at the white wall, be sure to visit the Fort De Windt, another historic fort on the island!
13. Visit Zeelandia Beach. Unfortunately you cannot swim here, but it is a beautiful beach and a sea turtle nesting site for parts of the year!
14. Head to Boven National Park to hike even more beautiful trails!
15. Make a quick stop at Venus Bay, a much shorter hike in the park and in our opinion, one of the most beautiful areas of the island!

Nicknamed the "Golden Rock" because of its history as a free port in the Caribbean and all the riches that passed through its port, St. Eustatius today is more than the sleepy little island most portray it to be. You can definitely do some relaxing but you can also hike a dormant volcano, enjoy great food and wine, explore historic monuments, relax on black sand beaches, discover an amazing underwater world, and stay at great accommodations, from budget-friendly and locally owned B and B's to a luxury resort and everything in between.

This is ZoubeirsWorld. Visiting all countries in the world.
Sometimes I also visit territories that are not recognised as a country.
My main goal is to collect as many countries as possible.
I am not the type of traveler to rush through all the countries just for a few days. I take my time during my travels because I also want to enjoy the destinations that I visit.
Let's walk on the island of Statia / Sint Eustatius

I had the chance to fly HOME to ST. EUSTATIUS the Dutch Caribbean after 17 years. We had an amazing time and I wanted to document my memories so that I can always remember how blessed I am to have this opportunity and also share it with those who have never been. Seek balance and peace in your life and always be grateful.

Nicknamed the "Golden Rock" because of its history as a free port in the Caribbean and all the riches that passed through its port, St. Eustatius today is more than the sleepy little island most portray it to be. You can definitely do some relaxing but you can also hike a dormant volcano, enjoy great food and wine, explore historic monuments, relax on black sand beaches, discover an amazing underwater world, and stay at great accommodations, from budget-friendly and locally owned B and B's to a luxury resort and everything in between.
CORRECTION: the ruins in this video are NOT of a holding space for slaves but a warehouse for goods according to a volunteer at SECAR, St Eustatius Center for Archeologic Research
