The goal is to get at the finish. Along the way you have obstacles but also resources, for example squares were things are going to happen. Each square has its own rules.

You play with 2 to 6 players. The oldest player begins. You use one dice. You play turn based. You get a coin if you get on a coin square. You can upgrade your attributes in a store with the coins that you got.

5. Attributes

Every boat has 3 attributes: attack, defense and speed Every boat begins with 0 attributes. Player can upgrade their ship when they get on a shop square. Every attribute costs 1 coin. Speed increases the amount of steps that you can walk after you throw (for example: you have 2

speed and you throw 6, then you walk 8 squares). Attack increases the amount of pips that you throw during battle (for example: You have 2

attack and you throw 6, then you have 8 attack). Defense decreases the amount of pips that your opponent threw in a battle. It also defends you

against items and negative action squares. You choose when to use attributes. After you used an attribute, it will decrease by 1. In a store, you can sell (trading attributes for coins) or buy (trading coins for attributes). If you

want to sell or buy again, you have to leave the store and then return.
