Players expand their tulip business by acquiring a ship and sailing between ports to conduct foreign trade. On each turn, players move their Ship to different ports, spend Tulip Bulbs for rewards, and gain position-dependent benefits when advancing on the Calendar. The Calendar offers a choice between the regular and expert variant, affecting timing and options for actions. Gameplay changes the Conduct Foreign Trade action into a spatial, sea-trade mechanic that ties resource spending and ship placement to long-term planning and timing on the Calendar.
