This is a fleet of pirates in possession of an oil tanker.

This includes his Ship Quality Tokens (SQT), Fish Tokens, and Salvage Cards. 
The Maximum number of SQT you can have is 6. 
The max number of Fish Tokens and Salvage Cards you can carry is equal to  
2 + 3X where X is your SQT (so a level 6 Ship could carry 20 Items). 
Immediately discard excess items you cannot carry. 

SETUP
Each player gets 1 Pawn and 1 Ship Quality Token. 
The Map starts on one of the Trading Posts. 
The Smokers start on one of the Scavenge Sites. 
The Player pawns start on the remaining Fishing Spots and Trading Posts. 
Players roll high to see who goes first. 

TURN SEQUENCE
Players take turns. 
Play proceeds clockwise. 
Roll 1D6 and move that many spaces in either direction. 
(you must move, you cannot stay in the same space)
If you land on a space containing the Map, you immediately take 
Possession of it, even if another player had it.
