## Rules questions

### Do I have to follow suit when someone leads a card?

Yes — when a suit is led you must follow that suit if you can, and tricks are won by the highest number in the led suit (see page 2).

### How does the deal & exchange at the start of a round work — can we swap cards?

The round setup includes a specific deal-and-exchange step that you must perform before playing tricks; follow the deal & exchange procedure described in the rules (see pages 1–2).

### If I play two cards that show the same symbol, do both symbol effects happen?

Yes — playing a symbol pair activates the symbol-pair effects described in the rules; apply the pair’s listed effect when that pair is played (see page 3).

### What does the Kraken do and what happens if the deck runs out?

Kraken attacks cause damage according to the Kraken rules and the game includes special deck-handling rules for these events; follow the Kraken damage and deck rules as written (see page 3).

### How do cannon actions/icons work — do they automatically damage hazards or need a specific trigger?

Cannon actions and their icon effects resolve according to the cannon action rules and icon explanations; apply the cannon effect exactly as the cannon action text and icons instruct (see page 4).

### What causes us to lose the game — how do islands, kraken, and going off‑board affect that?

Sailing hazards such as islands, the Kraken, and going off-board inflict damage or trigger loss conditions outlined under sailing hazards and win/lose conditions; follow those hazard rules to determine damage and losing states (see page 4).
