New Pirates Adventure game at Magic Kingdom

DisneyParks Blog has this story about a new game that will begin in the summer of 2013 at Magic Kingdom.  The game has the somewhat long name: , A Pirate’s Adventure: Treasures of the Seven Seas .  I wonder if we could abbreviate it PATSS. 
In the game, the fate of piracy in the Caribbean rests in the hands of new pirate recruits, who, armed with magic talismans and treasure maps, embark on five different pirate raids throughout Adventureland to collect valuable treasures, while Captain Jack Sparrow’s magic compass guides them.
 At first glance this seems to be more for kids, although anyone can play.  It looks similar to the Agent-P game at EPCOT, at least in this "sneak peek".  The new game will be added to the Sorcerers of the Magic Kingdom game to give another fun way to explore MK.  The Sorcerers game can be a little complicated and even frustrating - as you move up levels the villains start winning.  At higher levels you need to know which spells work best against each villain.  At the beginners level the game sucks you in as you keep beating the villains.  At the highest level, you might want to make sure the metal plate on the sidewalk where you stand at the portal is not a trap door.  Sorcerers has spawned a trading community for the cards, not to mention finding the right type of book to hold the cards.
