Goal of the game

On the night of 31 October 1470, a mysterious fleet appeared in the cold waters off the north-western edge of the kingdoms. Attacking on sight all the boats that cross its path, this gloomy armada, which is said to be always surrounded by thick fog, sails straight towards the land. The few sailors who have successfully boarded one of its menacing ships have all given the same astonishing account: there was no crew on board. As the rumours spread, it's up to you to face the ghost ships!

Collect supply points, recycle useless cards in hand, and sink all the opponent's ships in naval battles.
