AT THE TABLE
A little about Port Royal.
Cards reveal the opportunities available in the harbour: ships offer income, while people add abilities and influence. Keep revealing to open more choices, or stop and secure something useful. A second ship of the same colour can wipe out the display unless your crew has the strength to repel it.
What you’ll do
- Reveal harbour cards one at a time
- Stop before an unrepelled duplicate ship colour ends the turn
- Take income, recruit crew and build influence through the available cards
Good to know
This profile covers the original base game. Later Big Box editions include extra variants and expansions, including solo and cooperative modes, which are not assumed here.
