Description:: This is an open tournament using 40 point fleets (bring your own)

Cost is $2 per person to cover prizes. Prizes will be determined depending on the number of participants and will be of retail value equal to the total entry fees collected.

HOUSE RULES/MODIFICATIONS:

Each player starts the game with a 40pt maximum fleet built according to the standard rules—any points not spent on initial build are placed on the player’s home island for use during the game. The coins must be placed in the highest possible demoninations (ie. For 4 extra points place a single 4 pt coin not 2—2pt coins)

The immunity from attack while docked at a player’s home island rule is removed—each player is allowed to place a “free” 3pt Fort on their home island (the 3pts cost of the fort does not count towards the 40pt fleet total). The home island fort will be used during the game to defend the player’s fleet while docked at their home island. The fort’s cannons are extended to 2-L range. Players may elect to place a more expensive fort or otherwise augment the fort using points from their 40pt fleet allotment.

Each player contributes 8 treasure tokens with a total value of 15 treasure, not more than one of which may be a unique treasure. The treasure is spread evenly on the wild islands.

Treasure collected from wild islands and/or captured from other players and returned to the player’s home island may be used to purchase crew and/or ship reinforcements not previously used in the game (ships sunk or crew eliminated during the game are not eligible to be used as reinforcements). Ships and/or crew reinforcements are available for use on the player’s NEXT turn (crew cannot leave the island until the next turn even if they are placed on an existing ship)

Gold may be used to speed repairs made to ships at the player’s home island. One additional mast may be repaired per ship per turn at a cost of 2 treasure. A single mast per ship per turn may be still be repaired at no cost. The Shipwright crew may still repair one mast for free.

If a ship is successfully scuttled it sinks at the END of the player’s CURRENT turn.

If a Player has a Kraken in play with the Eternal keyword they can only be eliminated from the game if the Kraken is returned to their home island and a) they have no other ships or creatures in play, and b) their home island fort has been destroyed.

Coins used for the Parley keyword must come from the ship which is being attacked, they cannot be taken from the players home island. If the attacking ship cannot carry the coin it remains on the ship being attacked.

The last player with ships afloat is the winner!
