Notes on the Card Text
- Tavern mat. Astrologist refers to "your Tavern mat", but no card in the set describes the mat. Its rules are not reproduced in the card images and are not transcribed here.
- Companies. Stock Market refers to "Companies", "the Company supply" and "a Company", but no card in the set defines them beyond the Stock Market setup line above. The card images do not say what a Company is, how the Company supply is built, or what playing a Company does.
- Cursed Gold. Pirate Cove's Heirloom is "Cursed Gold". No Cursed Gold card is among the twelve images, so its text is not transcribed.
- Ravisher. The card does not say who chooses which trashed Action is set aside, or whether the card gained is taken from the Supply. Its text is transcribed as printed.
- Victory point icon. The card images show victory points as a shield-shaped token icon; these are written here as "VP" (for example, Pirate Cove is worth 1 VP).
- Coin icon. Coin costs and values are written as "coins", following the printed coin symbol.
