PIECES
Each player has one pawn and 12 control markers.

VICTORY
The first player to accumulate 50 Gold is the winner. 

TURN SEQUENCE
Each turn has 7 phases:
1. Rebuild Phase
2. Hurricane Phase
3. Pirate Phase
4. Indian Raid Phase
5. Disease Phase
6. Income Phase
7. Action Phase

REBUILD PHASE
Remove one Raze counter from each settlement that has one. 

HURRICANE PHASE
Roll 3D6 and move the Hurricane Marker counterclockwise.
If the Hurricane lands on a Settlement place 1D6 Raze markers on it.
Enhancements are destroyed on a roll of 1 on 1D6 (roll for each)

PIRATE PHASE
Roll 2D6 and move the Pirate Marker counterclockwise.
If the Pirate lands on a Settlement, the settlement is attacked by 
1D3 combatants. If the defenders lose, place 1D6 Raze markers on the settlement. 
This includes the effects of bandits, outlaws, corsairs, slavers, wreckers, & buccaneers.

INDIAN RAID PHASE
Roll 1D6 and move the Indian Raid Marker counterclockwise.
If the Indian Raid lands on a Settlement, the settlement is attacked by 
1D3 combatants. If the defenders lose, place 1D6 Raze markers on the settlement. 
Major tribes included: The Seminoles (Creeks), Miccosukee, Tequesta, 
Tocobaga, Timucuan, Apalachee, Calusa, and Choctaws.

DISEASE PHASE
Roll 1D6 and move the Disease Marker counterclockwise.
If the Disease lands on a Settlement place 1D6 Raze markers on it.
Diseases of the time included: Yellow Fever, Malaria, Typhus, and Cholera.
Combatants present are killed on a roll of 1-2 on 1D6

INCOME PHASE
Each settlement generates income.
Income = 1 + the number of Income cards attached to the settlement.
Make an additional 1 Gold if the settlement has at least one Labor and
One non-labor income card attached.
The settlement makes an additional 1 Gold for each two Income cards of the 
same type, such as two ‘Civilization’ cards or two ‘Sea’ cards. 
Razed settlements do not generate income. 
If an opposing pawn is on your settlement the settlement generates no income.

ACTION PHASE
Players take turns moving their pawn.
Roll two six sided dice, pick one, and move that many spaces clockwise.
A Player must skip his turn if his pawn occupies the same space as a 
Disease, Hurricane, Pirate, or Indian Raid Marker
If your pawn lands on a settlement not controlled by anyone, you are the “Founder” 
of the Settlement. Place one of your control markers on it.
If your pawn lands on a settlement you already control then remove 1D6 Raze 
Markers from it. If the settlement has no Raze markers draw one card from the 
Enhancement Deck. Attach the enhancement card to the settlement.
If your pawn lands on an opposing settlement you may attack it if you control either of 
the two Settlements next to it and at least one of them has a combatant card attached.
To resolve the attack, roll (1 + X)D6 where X = the number of combatant cards you 
Are committing from adjacent settlements. The defender rolls (2 + X)D6 where X equals 
The number of all combatants attached to the attacked settlement. Reroll ties. 
The higher roll wins. The loser loses all committed combatants. 
The winner loses one combatant (but not his last one) on a roll of 1-3 on 1D6.
(Fortress cards are never destroyed, they switch hands instead)
If the defender won nothing further happens. 
If the attacker won he gains control of the attacked settlement. He replaces the 
Control marker with one of his own and may transfer one of the 
Attacking Combatants to the newly conquered Settlement. 
If you control any Moveable Combatants, you may move them on your 
Turn, to an adjacent settlement you control.
