Mutiny on high seas! Everyone has signed onto the Merchant Ship to earn as many Victory Points as possible by selling their wares. The Merchant gets the best price in a trade and the Loading-clerk can choose his new wares.
The Mutineer however has some other ideas: together with the Ship's Boy he'll try to overthrow the Captain. On the other hand the Captain tries to keep in control and hopes the Boatswain will help him.
Goal: The players try to sell their wares at the best price to earn Victory Points.
