Setup

  • Each player picks a random color and takes:
    • The den
    • Score token
    • 30 character cards
    • 10 doubloons (1 of 5 and 5 of 1)
  • Score markers start at 0
  • Draw 1 booty token per player per day and place on 6 ship squares
    • 2 players = 12 tokens (2 per square)
    • 3 players = 18 tokens (3 per square)
    • 4 players = 24 tokens (4 per square)
    • 5 players = 30 tokens (5 per square)
    • 6 players = 36 tokens (6 per square)
  • 1 player draws 9 cards randomly and reads out each rank number
  • The other players select those same cards from their decks

Game Turn

  • 3 campaigns are played through
  1. Campaign Start
    1. Six days of looting
      • These steps should be followed 6 times
      1. Phase 1: Sunrise
        1. Each player chooses a character simultaneously and places it face down
        2. Everyone flips over their cards and orders them from smallest to largest rank
          • Ties are broken by the influence number
      2. Phase 2: Day
        1. In increasing order of rank (smallest to largest) each player will resolve the “day” special action of the character played
      3. Phase 3: Dusk
        1. In decreasing order of rank (largest to smallest) each player will choose 1 booty token from the current day's space below the ship and place it in their den face down
        2. At the same time, any “dusk” special actions are resolved
        3. If a player selects a Spanish Officer or a Saber they must immediately resolve their effect
        4. The player's character card is placed face up in the players den
        5. Any booty tokens left on the board stay there until the end of the campaign
      4. Phase 4: Night
        1. Use the “night” special action of every character in each player's den
    2. Scoring Phase: The Day of Rest
