Setup

Players get a ship board, and the game is played over three rounds.

The rules, step by step

Setup
Each player receives a personal ship board with five spaces for tile placement. The game spans three rounds, during which tiles representing various goods are drawn from a bag and auctioned off to players.
Objective
The main goal is to accumulate the most victory points by acquiring high-value commodity tiles, completing sets, and managing your funds efficiently throughout the three rounds of play.
On your turn
During a turn, players draw one, two, or up to three tiles from the bag and place them face up. Everyone then participates in a single round of bidding using their victory point track as currency to acquire the tile lot.
Scoring
At the end of each round, players score points based on the total strength of the goods on their ships, with bonuses awarded to the highest contributors in each commodity type according to player count.
Game end
The game concludes after three full rounds of drawing, bidding, and scoring. The player who has amassed the highest total of victory points and money combined wins the game.
Tips
Keep a close eye on what other players are collecting to contest major categories, and ensure you fill your ship efficiently without getting stuck with random draws at the end of a round.
