About the game
Buccaneer is a British board game created by Geoffrey Bull and published by Waddingtons between the 1930s and 1980s. Bull's creation of Buccaneer is credited with providing the inspiration for his next-door neighbour, Anthony E. Pratt, to create a board game, which eventually led to Pratt creating Cluedo.More from Alga
