Example 12: Capturing a Pirate Lair

(A) Red moves her ship loaded with 2 crews beside an intersection of a gold field occupied by a pirate lair. Additionally, Blue already has a crew there.

(B) Red places her 2 crews on the pirate lair. When combined with Blue’s crew, there are now 3 crews on the pirate lair. The pirate lair is captured. Red and Blue immediately receive 2 gold each.

(C) At the end of Red’s turn, she resolves the capture. She turns the pirate lair token over so that its number side is face up. Blue and Red each move their markers forward 1 space on the “Pirate Lairs” mission card. Then they determine the hero. Red rolls a “5” and adds 2 (her number of crews). Blue rolls a “6” and adds 1—they tie (7 to 7). Since Red has 1 more crew, she is the winner. Red moves her marker forward 1 more space on the mission card. Red must also return 1 of her crews to her supply.

(D) During any of their following turns, Red and Blue may pick up their respective crews with their ships.
