Each card has a number which may be played to add to different ratings. - Multiple paths to victory: plunder ships, explore strange coast lands, and trade goods between ports. - Combines history (actual nationalities, ports, and ships) with fantastical elements (from the dreaded kraken to the lure of mermaids).
