The game has an intriguing theme and after downloading the files I was urged to PnP. Unfortunately the rules are not completed and there are issues left to be settled. For example what happens when you have already a heading and a wind direction that will last for the next 6 turns and immediately after rolling on the events table you get a wind change; these two matters are in conflict. There is no mention or table regarding the result for each drawn colored cube. In the example of play, Red is success and green a failure, what about the rest of the colors? The POS and wind direction requires either more examples or a more clear approach on how it is calculated. The plotting and measurement of the distance being traveled is an interesting aspect. There is no mention of where and how one places the crew on the ship; can you place 2 crew cubes on a sail? Is it allowed for all crew cubes to be on deck or one is obliged to be on the sails? When is the captain placed in the helm section? I guess when the designer will be ready to put more time into it and have the BGG feedback assistance things will be sorted out. When this prototype is finalized I would sure like to try it out.

Rules aren't there, yet. I anticipate that the game will get better as the designer makes improvements, but I know that he is focused on some of his other games right now. AWESOME theme, though. I await the final product with much anticipation.
