Unfolding

Each player plays in his turn following the rules of the game. The players do not progress in a linear way towards the end: i.e. a player can have the three parts of the same treasure and with the following turn to find itself without anything and conversely. This aspect of the play returns it sympathetic nerve in the direction where until the end of the play all can be played and no player " largué" by a difficult departure of part while playing while knowing only it will be ennuira not to gain more. Everyone clings until the end because as long as the part is not finished: all is still possible!

The play is dynamic from the presence of charts which can upset the situation. treasure called " trues; the island of the treasures perdus" contribute to shorten the part when it lasts for ever: indeed, a turn is enough once the past pile of the treasures so that all the players know which are the treasures in circulation and most coveted. The aspect alliance between the players contributes to found a dynamics with the play, each player endeavouring to make pay by a large malus, the low blow of another player two turns earlier…

End of part and winner

If a player, at the end of his turn, has the four parts of the same treasure, it can, in addition to its actions, to cause the Black Drapeau in duel. If it gains the duel, or if it were already him even black flag : it gains the part.
