RAISE THE BID

To raise the bid, the player must use the dice rolled at the beginning of the auction round

to create a bid that is higher than the current bid.  is means that the total number of pips

in the bidding row must end up being higher.

To increase the bid, the player may move the dice around as he likes. He may switch the

place of dice on the bidding spaces, move dice from goods spaces to bidding spaces and

return dice to their goods spaces (any returned die must be placed back onto the goods

space of its color).

However, in creating his higher bid, he must still follow the rules described in the

blue boxes on the previous page!

Note: When creating his bid, the player may play parrot cards to change dice values or to

avoid the requirement to raise the bid (see section “ e parrot cards” on page 8).

Example:

Martina decides

to raise the current

bid from 6 to 8. She

returns the orange

die to its goods

space, slides the

green die over to the

3rd bidding space

and moves the gray

die up to the 2nd

bidding space.

 e auction round proceeds

A er the starting player has made the opening bid, the auction round proceeds in a clockwise direction. On his turn, a player must either raise the current bid OR pass.

PASS

If the player passes, he drops out of the current auction round altogether and immediately

carries out the following steps:

1. Receive goods for unoccupied goods spaces

First, the player checks which goods spaces are free (since the dice of these colors are on

bidding spaces). For each free goods space, he takes exactly 1 tile from the supply and

places it in front of him.

2-player game only: In addition to the tiles of the free goods spaces, the player receives

1 tile of the good associated with the peninsula at which the ghost ship is anchored.

If the ghost ship is at the rightmost position (beneath the pirate point track), it is at open

sea. In this case, the player does not get the additional goods tile.

2. Trade with 1 merchant ship

 en the passing player must choose 1 of the merchant ships to trade with.

• He may not choose the ship farthest to the right (as it is at open sea).

• He may not choose any ship that already has a trade marker on it.

• He may not choose any ship that he cannot supply (i.e. he doesn’t have the goods to do so).

• Also in a 2-player game: He may not choose the ghost ship.

 e player places his trade marker onto the chosen ship

and must immediately perform the trade. Each ship o ers certain trade

actions. For each trade action the player must return tiles of a certain

type of good to the supply. Which type of good that is depends on the

peninsula at which the ship is anchored.

Each available ship o ers 2 trade actions:

• a main trade action and

• a claim action.

Important:  e player may always substitute goods at the ratio of 3:1.

 is means he is always allowed to substitute a needed goods tile with

any 3 goods tiles (of 1, 2 or 3 types), which he returns to the supply.

 e player must perform at least 1 action (the main trade action or the claim action)

but may perform both. For the main trade action, he returns 1 or more tiles

of the demanded good to the supply, but never more than the number on the

ship’s arrow. He may perform the claim action once or as many times as he

likes, provided that he returns the required tiles to the supply each time.

(All trade actions are explained on the next page.)

Example:

Frank decides to

pass. He receives

1 green, 1 yellow

and 1 gray tile from

the supply.

Example in a 2-player game:

In addition to the 1 green, 1 yellow and 1 gray goods tile (as in the

previous example),

Frank would receive a second gray tile (since

the ghost ship is anchored at the gray peninsula).

Example continued:

A er receiving his goods tiles,

Frank places

his trade marker onto the ship anchored at

the yellow peninsula. Now he must per-

form at least 1 of the ship’s trade actions by

returning at least 1 yellow tile to the supply.

If he returned that 1 tile, he would receive

1 parrot card from the parrot card stack. Or

he could return up to 3 yellow goods tiles to

receive 3 parrot cards. Or he could return 4 yellow tiles to perform 1 claim action.

Or he could return 5 yellow tiles to perform 1 claim action and receive 1 parrot

card. Or he could return 10 yellow tiles to perform 2 claim actions and receive

2 parrot cards, etc.

He would be allowed to substitute any one of these yellow tiles with 3 other goods

tiles (for instance, 2 blue tiles and 1 gray tile).

Special case:

As said before, the player must perform at least 1 trade action. However, if there

are only ships available that demand a type of good of which the player doesn’t

have a single tile (and only then), he places his trade marker onto any of these

available ships and refrains from performing a trade action. In this case, the player

is not obliged to enable the trade by substituting the demanded good with

3 other tiles.
