==Setup==
Line 60 ⟶ 79:
To fire a cannon, hold a Large piece (regardless of ship size) such that the entire base side of the Large touches one of the two long sides of your ship. The Large piece indicates your possible target area. If the object you wish to shoot at lies in the area covered by the Large piece, and is not obstructed by anything, then you can hit that target.

When a ship is hit from cannon fire, it takes one point of damage. You can use some form of chits or other markers to indicate ships that have already taken some damage. The damage stays with the ship the remainder of the game until it is repaired. For large and medium ships, make sure to move the damage counters along with the ship whenever you move it.
A ship is Disabled ''(stood upright with its cargo stacked in a tree on top of it)'' when it has taken damage equal to its size. A Disabled ship cannot take any further damage until it has been repaired. However, it also cannot perform any other actions besides repairs.
===Making Repairs===
Line 78 ⟶ 100:
As one Action, a ship can move up to a maximum number of steps based on its size.

|1 step
|-
|{{PL|::M|green|5em}}
|2 steps
|-
|{{PL|::S|green|5em}}
|4 steps
|}
Each ship-movement step is made as follows:
Line 89 ⟶ 120:
*Then remove the original ship from the old position. (Any damage counters and cargo should be moved to the new ship location as well.)

Continue this process until you have either gone as far as you wish, or until you have traveled the maximum distance allowed based on the size of the ship. (See Illus. 3)

|}
You must travel in steps as listed above. A ship must move in increments of its size. No partial-size moves are allowed, only moves that are a number of full steps less
(e.g. A small can move the length of one, two, three, or four small sizes, but no portions of a small unit. For instance, it cannot take two and a half size moves.)
If a ship would come into contact with another object or the edge of the playing surface during a move, then the move is not allowed.

===Docking & Transferring Cargo===
Line 115 ⟶ 151:
===Cargo Hold===
Each size of ship can only carry a certain amount and type of cargo. The amount is based on what can nest within the ship's hold. Each size of ship can only carry a certain amount and type of cargo. The amount is based on what can nest within the ship's hold.
*A Small ship is too small to carry any cargo.
*A Medium ship can carry only a single Small piece of cargo.
Line 130 ⟶ 163:
*In general, ships and islands should not be moved or jostled outside of actually moving them as part of your turn options. If something does get moved accidentally, you should attempt to put it back in its original position. There are no penalties for this happening, but try to avoid it.
==Game End==
The game is over when one player has collected enough treasure on their home Island to win the game.
