Gameplay
The game is played by 2-4 players in 10-15 minute sessions. Each player takes turns drawing cards one at a time with the aim of collecting the most possible loot. There are ten suits each with six different cards. When different suits are drawn in the turn, the amount of loot (treasure) keeps growing.[4] When two cards of the same suit are drawn, the turn is a bust. The possible cards that may be drawn:
- 60 Loot Cards, divided into ten different suits, ranging in value from 2-7 (except for the mermaids which range from 4-9)
- 17 Trait Cards which give each player special abilities that can be used during the course of the game.
- 6 Game Variant Cards, that modify how the game is played.
- 4 Gameplay Cards.
- 4 Suit Ability Reference Cards.
- 3 Mermaid Variant Cards.
