Setup
- Each player takes the Falmouth Port Board of their color and places it above their personal board.
- Each player takes the Horseback Explorer and Advanced Ship of their color and places them on the indicated spots on their Falmouth Port Board.
- Separate the Roof tiles based on their icons. Each player now takes one of each Roof tile type and places them next to their Falmouth Port board. All unused Roof tiles are returned to the box.
Note: When playing with the Firelands Expansion, flip all Roof tiles to the sides indicated in the rulebook's setup illustration. (The side illustrations are artwork and are not reproduced in this text.)
Components
- 4 Falmouth Port Boards (1 per player color)
- 4 Horseback Explorers (1 per player color)
- 4 Advanced Ships (1 per player color)
- 8 Roof Tiles (4 per type)
Falmouth Port Objective Locations
Each Falmouth Port board has one silver and one golden Objective location.
When a player achieves an Objective, they may place it face-down onto an empty matching spot on their Falmouth Port board to gain the associated reward.
Players may place face-up Objectives onto open Falmouth Port spots as a reserve, as with the base game Objective placement rules.
Note: Neither of these rewards gives end game victory points.
Upgrading an Explorer
After achieving a golden Objective placed on the Falmouth Port board, the player may upgrade one of their Explorers currently on an Island track.
That Explorer is replaced with their Horseback Explorer, maintaining its position on the track. Place the exchanged Explorer into the box; it will not be used for the rest of the game.
Upgrading a Ship
After achieving a silver Objective placed on the Falmouth Port board, the player may replace their Ship with their Advanced Ship, maintaining its position on the track. Place the exchanged Ship into the box; it will not be used for the rest of the game.
If playing with the Firelands Expansion: The player may choose one of their Ships already on an Ocean track.
Roof Tile Actions
After upgrading an Explorer or Ship token, the player must place one of their Roof tiles face-up next to the completed Objective on the Falmouth Port board. Each Roof tile shows a Correspondence or Academy action icon.
On a player's turn, after performing all actions, the player may activate an active Roof tile as long as they performed at least one matching Correspondence or Academy action during that turn. When activating a Roof tile, the player may spend 1-4 Coins to move the associated token (Horseback Explorer or Advanced Ship) 1-4 times on its Island or Ocean track. Each Roof tile may be activated only once per turn.
The upgraded token movement follows the same rules as regular tokens. Once a Roof tile's movement has ended, the player may perform the action shown where the Horseback Explorer or Advanced Ship stopped.
Interactions with Other Expansions
Pirates Expansion
When a Roof tile's activation moves a Horseback Explorer or Advanced Ship onto or past a Campsite, they may take the Treasure (if any) or move the Pirate Ship following the Pirate Expansion rules.
Firelands Expansion
Players may not interact with Adventure tokens when moving onto or past them using a Roof tile activation.
