Description

A pick-up and delivery game based on Atlantic Trade in the 17th Century. The object of the game is to ship cargo from port to port in exchange for victory points; the first to 25 victory points wins.

During your turn you draw 2 cards from the deck, move each of your ships a maximum of 5 spaces, and play any number of cards. You can also load or unload cargo at port. When the turn ends battles are resolved with a roll of the dice.

There are many different types of cards in the deck to keep the game fun and exciting. Wind cards allow you to increase ship movement. Battle cards increase your odds in battle, or can be used to escape battle altogether. There are also wild cards which allow you to adjust the value of the cargo, or summon pirates to attack an opponent.
