Rules[]

One player controls the Spanish Navy, while his opponent owns the Pirate fleet. The holes are considered to be "harbors", the stores are "home ports". The seeds are called "ships", the contents of a hole are known as a "fleet".

Initially there are four ships in each harbor. They move and capture similar to the game of Kalah. However, to make the game more interesting, two random events can occur during the course of the game:

  • If the Dutchman Sighted event occurs, the Pirate player gets a free turn.
  • If the Gold Ship Arrived event occurs, the Spanish player gets the free turn.

Events are optional and their frequency can be adjusted.
