X Marks the Spot

 

You want to form Krosses with you pirate icons; you begin with a pirat and his symbol and four cards; those cards are like Dominoes pieces, they show to halves and either two different or two identical symbols.

In your turn you play up to two cards, touching one in the display over corner or edge, and also on top of cards. Ghost Ship icons are jokers, a Kraken is a “dead” symbol and must be covered with a Ghost Ship or destroyed with a Cannon. Open water can be placed over any other symbol and can be covered in turn with any symbol. With action cards you can destroy cards, swap cards, get cards from opponents or discard pile or negotiate for cards. If you form an X from five symbols, you mark the middle one, only this symbol is now protected. You can use an unprotected symbol for the formation of several crosses. If you are first to have three Doubloons in the display you win.
