About this game
Flip cards from a shared deck to reveal ships and people in the harbor. Ships earn gold when you stop flipping, but push too far and a matching ship type ends your turn with nothing. Spend earned gold to hire people who provide permanent abilities and victory points. The push-your-luck flipping creates tension every single turn, and the hired crew builds a light engine of discounts and bonuses. Plays fast, packs small, and delivers more drama per minute than its tiny price tag suggests.
