You'll face an endless array of dangers, from the seas themselves, the killers that sail them and the dark horrors which lurk beneath them. Will you prevail or will a watery grave be your only prize?

You then roll dice to determine the success of each encounter, choosing to pursue a sea battle or make a hasty retreat to fight another day for example. Ecah vessel has unique attributes.
The game is won on a Victory Point basis with rewards for completing voyages, sinking enemy tonnage and more. The game ends after completring all 5 voyages included.
