Every player is a ship owner. They go from haven to haven, always trying to be the first one. At the haven is a card. This card tells you where to go next. The weather is also defined by cards. The ships react to the weather. There are also cards with different events. Sometimes you have to wait one round perhaps while you eat food as an example. If you finish the goal on your haven card you earn money. You can receive your money in ship improvements so that your ship works better in bad weather conditions. The game ends when the first player earns 1000 Taler. - BoardGameGeek
