Customize your ship and compete to be the first to reach Treasure Island in this battle racing game. Stack transparent cards to add new parts and crew members to your ship. Each card changes your ship’s appearance and abilities. How far you can move, the effects of each space, and your battle power all depend on the cards you combine. Try different card combinations to create your own unique ship, and use your strategy to get ahead of your opponents.

In this game, players take turns moving their pieces forward around the map. Each player's turn proceeds in the following order: ① Strengthen Your Fleet — Choose 1 of the 3 transparent cards in your hand and place it on top of either of your 2 ship cards. By stacking cards, values and icons on the ship cards may be increased or overwritten. ② Voyage (Move Your Piece) — Check the orange frame in the upper-right corner of the card you played during your turn (the Weather section), then add together the numbers corresponding to that same icon on your 2 ship cards. You may move your piece on the game board up to that total number of spaces. ③ Activate Space Effects — You may activate the effect of the space where your piece stopped. For example, if you stop on a Feather Space, you may move additional spaces equal to the total number of Feather icons on your 2 ship cards. ④ Battle — If another player's piece is on the same space as, or on a space adjacent to, the active player's piece, all players within that range compare the total number of Sword icons on their 2 ship cards. The player with the most Sword icons may move each of the other players' pieces that participated in the battle by 2 spaces. ⑤ Refill Your Hand — Draw 1 card from the deck and add it to your hand.

In addition to the actions above, there are two types of Free Actions that can be performed at any time during your turn, as many times as you like, by paying chips. A: Purchase — Pay 1 chip to discard 1 card from your hand. Then, take 1 card from either the 3 cards currently displayed on the table or the top of the deck and add it to your hand. B: Accelerate — Pay 2 chips to move your piece forward by 1 space.

If, when all players have completed one full round of turns, at least one player has reached the goal, the game ends. At the end of the game, players are ranked according to how close their pieces are to the furthest space on the map. Build your ship, choose your cards, and race to Treasure Island!
