Ocean cards are laid out in a grid, the box is set next to a corner to function as a counting aid; each player has a ship, the office cards are laid out and assigned a pirate randomly. Each player now receives one crew card in the current color of the Mate office, three crew cards are turned up. You choose two different offices or twice the same and use them: Mate – he hires crew; Helmsman – he steers the ship; Navigator – he finds a; Gunner – he attacks other ships on the same ocean card; Officer – he re-assignes offices. When the game box comes back to the start – it moves one step for every attack – or when after a final game phase only tow ocean cards show water the game is won by the player with most treasures.
