GAMEPLAY
During the Auction Phase
When a player claims a Trader tile, either by winning an auction or by using a God tile,
all OTHER players place 1 Small Goods Crate on their Docks board for each Trader tile
in their own collection. The player then places the newly claimed tile on the right side of
their Docks board.
The player claiming Trader tiles, through auction or God tile, does NOT receive any Goods
Crates for the newly taken Trader tiles nor for any Trader tiles already in their collection.
There is no limit to the number of Goods Crates that can be placed on the Docks board.
Large Goods Crates have a value of 3 and can be exchanged for 3 Small Goods Crates
when needed. In the highly unlikely event the supply is exhausted during an Epoch,
use a substitute material to help track the score.
Example: If two Trader tiles are won in a single auction, the player claiming the tiles
receives no Goods Crates. All other players will receive two Goods Crates per Trader tile
in their collection.

First, Second & Third Epoch Scoring
Players gain 1 point for each Trader tile AND 1 point for each Small Goods Crate they have
(and 3 points for each Large Goods Crate). All Trader tiles are discarded from play at the end
of each Epoch, and all Goods Crates located on players' Docks boards are returned to the
supply, available again for the next Epoch.
