The rules:

Also available in the rulebook PDF.

Building your Board:  

-Arrange the tiles to form the world that you want to explore. 
-The lines must line up.
-You cannot put islands next to the edge of the board. 

Start: Every player starts with 1 ship and 3 of each resource: wood, iron, rope, crewmates. 
-Everyone picks a kingdom to start with. 

Resources:
There are four types of resources:
-Wood. 
-Iron.
-Rope.
-Crewmates.

There are 15 resources maximum available for you to get for each type. Once you lose all of one resource (e.g., lose all your wood) you cannot get any more of that resource. 

If you have only 1 type of resource left (e.g. wood) and someone doesn't have it (e.g. wood), they can use a plunder card on you, but the tokens go back to the bank.

How to gain/lose resources:
1. Plundering.
2. Arriving at an island.
3. Pulling a chance card.

Types of cards:
There are two types of cards, Chance cards and Plunder cards. These cards are in two separate piles; unless stated otherwise, you can choose from either pile of cards. These cards can be instantly played, held onto or used whenever you want, or a status that gets applied to you or others and will remain active until the card’s effect is done. 
If you play a card, read it and place it in the discard pile.

Chance Cards:
There are Curse cards (Negative) and Blessing Cards (Positive) that you can pull.

Plunder cards & how to use:
A plunder card allows you to steal/plunder resources from other players and take them for yourself. Use a plunder card when you are within a 5-tile radius of another player. 
If you land on the same spot. Spin the spinner whoever gets the highest number gets to plunder 3 of each resource available to you. 

Core Game Loop/ Movement System:
1. Spin the spinners. The spinner with numbers determines the number of tiles you move. The compass determines your direction. (e.g. north can go north, north-east, north-west) 
2. Pull a card. 
3.Play a card.
4. If it is an instant card, you can still play a plunder card.

Ships:
Players start with 1 ship but can eventually get up to three ships in total

How to build more ships: 
1.Using 5 of each resource 
2.Using 10 of one resource 

Islands:
Islands give you +2 resources of the resources you land on. (e.g. land on yellow, get rope)  

Trading:
You can trade by going to another player's kingdom. You must go to a specific player port to trade with them. You cannot trade resources that you do not have (e.g. you lost all your wood; you cannot trade to get more wood back). 
At any time, you are trading; the person who refuses to trade loses –1 of everything. 

How to win:
-Be the only one left with any resources! (Everyone else has lost all their resources)
