The betting phase: Inspired by the classic game Liars Dice , this poker-like mechanic will test your bluffing and probability skills. The sailing phase: All except the loser sail forward on the map and battle for their event/tile. Some events you really want to explore and some you want to avoid at all cost. The action phase: To aid you on your journey you'll have action cards on hand. Play these strategically to attack opponents and defend or upgrade your crew. —description from the designer
