Players take the role of Elizabethan captains outfitting ships in Plymouth Harbor and planning three voyages to the Spanish Main in the late 16th century. Gameplay centers on provisioning and configuring vessels—recruiting crew, acquiring guns and trade goods, and choosing supplies or upgrades—then racing to reach and raid treasure fleets and colonies. Players use cards and available assets such as charts, informers, patronage, and special leaders to influence outcomes and tackle voyage-specific challenges. Each expedition requires resource management and tactical choices about risk, ship strength, and sponsorship as captains compete to return with the most booty.

Evan4.6 This game uses a system we've seen before in games like Glen More where there is a row of tiles and you can jump ahead as far as you like but going too fast or too far and you miss out on the resources you need to get the job done, too slow and you'll lose a lot of points to ties, since turn order is really important in this game. It creates a sense of urgency to getting your stuff first that I really enjoy. Then the second part of the game takes place on the map as you try to beat out the other players to being first in all the spots you can assign to. One issue is that this is not a game where you build an engine. The game takes place over three rounds, and before each round you reset, so one of the two things you can do early to help yourself in later rounds is grab up turn order. (The other is the collection of resource sets, which does build across multiple turns, but it's a small point contribution overall). For re-playability the game allows you to shuffle the location of the different action tiles. This changes things up nicely between each of the 3 rounds, but ultimately isn't a big help in terms of changing things up game-to-game.
룰 질문
Ludoya 룰 도우미가 룰북을 바탕으로 답변했습니다.
Can I place my next disc anywhere on Plymouth Street, or do I have to keep moving forward?
You must place each successive disc farther along Plymouth Street than your previous one; you cannot move backward or revisit a location. You may jump ahead, but you need an empty placement circle, except at Investor. (p. 6)
Do I have to use all my supplies to reach a destination in a distant zone?
Supplies determine the furthest zone you may visit: one barrel reaches Zone 1, two reach Zone 2, three reach Zone 3, and four reach Zone 4. The route does not matter, and you may visit destinations in any permitted zones in any order. (pp. 6, 8)
Can I place my mission discs in numerical order, and can several players go to the same destination?
You may place your discs in any numerical order, but you must place all of them even if you do not intend to use them. Each player may place only one disc at a destination, while multiple players may place discs at the same destination; missions resolve by disc number, then Sailing Order, with the Golden Hind going first. (pp. 8–9)
If more than two players attack a destination, do the later players automatically lose their chance?
Only two successful attacks are allowed at each destination, but extra discs remain available if an earlier player cannot or chooses not to attack. A player who successfully attacks scores the listed VP, while the first successful attacker also claims the destination’s Gold, Silver, or Jewel. (p. 10)
How many crew and guns do I need to attack a Fort or a Spanish Galleon?
A Fort requires Crew equal to its revealed troop strength plus its printed troop defense, and Guns equal to its printed gun defense; a Pinnace ignores the Fort’s guns. A Spanish Galleon requires Guns equal to its printed guns plus the hidden Spanish Frigate Counter, which is revealed by the first attacker. (p. 10)
Can I return to Plymouth before using all four mission discs?
Yes. After any mission, you may return to Plymouth and retrieve unused discs, but you must return after your fourth mission. The first early return earns 2 VP and the second earns 1 VP, provided that player successfully attacked at least one Town, Fort, or Galleon. (p. 11)
