Players begin the game as one of six factions with control of three islands, a fleet of ships and a handful of gold.<br>A player obtains victory over the other players by controlling 6 islands or being the last ship sailing. There are many routes to that victory but the journey will without a doubt involve sailing your ships, firing cannons, seizing islands, and using faction abilities.<h2 class="bb_tag"><strong>Sail ships</strong></h2>Players can move up to 3 ships on their turn and are able to move a ship up to 3 tiles unless aided by Known Tradewinds<br>Ships are able to turn in any direction players desire. Think of the movie Pirates of the Caribbean where they dropped anchor and drift a U-turn and outmaneuvered the Black Pearl.<br><br><h2 class="bb_tag"><strong>Fire cannons</strong></h2>Step one of firing your epic cannons, count the number of tiles to the target. That is the minimum you need to roll to hit the target.<br>Step two, pay your crew to load and fire that cannon! 1 coin to fire a single shot. Roll to see if it is successful.<br>If successful, place a damage token under the target, if unsuccessful, roll better next time.<br><br><h2 class="bb_tag"><strong>Seize islands</strong></h2>When seizing an island, a player must first be adjacent to the island they would like to control. Once in position, pay 2 coins for the island along with a mast that belongs to the faction you are wrestling island control from.<br>Seizing an island that is defended is very costly. For each enemy ship that controls that island within 2 tiles adds 1 coin to the overall cost of seizing the island.<br><br><h2 class="bb_tag"><strong>Use faction abilities</strong></h2>When playing with faction abilities, each player selects 1 of the 6 factions to be. Each faction comes with 3 exciting and unique abilities that no one else has access to. These will help players turn the tide of war.<br>Abilities can cost coins to use or be limited on when you can use them, such as on your turn or when you seize an island.<br>On the left side of each faction card is an illustration, some adjectives to describe the faction and a quote the faction can be heard saying from time to time.<br><br>
