The story goes that in the 18th century, the pirate Black Sam Bellamy, hunted by the Royal Navy, sailed up the Seine disguised as a merchant. Aboard his ship \u201cLe Revenant\u201d, he was carrying fabulous treasure stolen from wealthy Chinese merchants. One foggy evening, docked near Paris, he buried the booty on a forgotten bank, vowing to take it back when he could, but Black Sam disappeared that same night, victim of the curse of the 3 Big Dragons, and the treasure was lost with him\u2026 or almost, as persistent rumors speak of some clues left in the mahjong tiles. Will you be clever enough to find his treasure? But, beware: the spirit of Black Sam is still watching, his sword in his hand.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
