Last night my opponent in a two player game was making a lot of money trading coffee. To counter this, I started producing a single barrel of coffee to ship, thereby forcing her to ship her coffee, rather than make money on it.

So the question came up if she had to put her barrels of coffee on the coffee ship when I selected the Captain. She thought she could ship her corn on another ship and be done with the phase. Page 6 under "Loading/shipping rules: A player cannot hold back goods when there is space on a ship carrying the kind of goods he has."

Am I interpreting that correctly? It tells me that if I Captain, and place my single barrel of coffee on a ship, even if she has corn and sugar, she must place all her barrels of coffee on my coffee ship. On other turns in that same phase she will ship her other goods if possible.

I thought this was obvious, but she disputes my interpretation, and reading through some comments here, I'm beginning to wonder if I have it wrong.

Thanks for your help!

You are correct. During the shipping phase, each player in turn MUST ship one kind of good, and this continues (multiple rounds if need be) until no one can possibly ship any more. Even if a player can no longer ship, that player "passes" while the other player(s) ship(s) remaining goods.

This is completely different from the trading phase, which is both voluntary, and only activates once for each player. (No trading 4 coffee in one turn, even if you have the office...)

The Captain phase (uniquely) goes around the table as many times as necessary until no one can ship any more. When it comes around to you, you must choose a type of good. It must be a type you can ship at least one barrel of. Once you have chosen the type of good, you must ship as many barrels as you can. Then it goes on to the next person. When it comes around to you again, you repeat the process.

If when it comes around to you, you cannot ship any barrels, you pass. Once everyone is forced to pass, the shipping is done and you empty full boats and discard excess barrels.

Hi people,

this does not exactly meet the original question but since there seem to be some doubts on the captain rules I'd like to complete your previous postings. Here is the rule you did not discuss so far:

If, during the captain phase, it is your turn you
* First pick an arbitrary ware of which you could ship at least one stone. No constraints on that.
* Given the ware, if there is not yet a ship for that type, you may have the opportunity to choose between several empty ships.
But: You must ship the maximum possible number of stones.
Example: You own 7 corn and decide to ship corn.
There are empty 6,7 and 8 spaced ships.
In that case you must choose either the 7 or the 8 spaced one.

Friendly regards, Markus.

Is it only possible to put your barrels into the warehouse during the captains phase?(if that is so, all barrels except one will be lost if the captain card doesn`t get picked). ???

I'm not sure what you mean by the paranthetical statement, but the warehouse works like this: after a Captain phase has been completely each player may only keep ONE barrel that they were not able to ship, period. Everything else must be "thrown out." However if a player has a small warehouse that player may hold on to EVERY barrel of one type in *addition* to the one barrel (presumably of something else). A large warehouse works the same way except the player may save every barrel of TWO types of goods in addition to one standard barrel, and a player with both warehouses gets the combined effect of saving THREE types of product from being thrown out.

You never actually "place" any barrels into the warehouse. The warehouse only allows you to keep barrels of product that you would have otherwise needed to throw out at the *end* of the Captain Phase.

I think you might be confused here. You only have to get rid of any extra barrels besides one at the end of the Captain's phase, not the end of the round.

엄청난 고통을 감수하면서 일일이 읽어나가다가 드디어 원하는 답변들을 쭉 찾았습니다.

선적에 대하여 www.boardgamegeek.com에서는 제가 알고자 했던 선적에 대하여는....

① 일단은 선적은 보드판에 남기는 상품의 숫자를 최소로 하여 최대로 실을 수 있는 배를 선택합니다.
ex) 옥수수가 7개라면 7칸 8칸의 공통배에만 실을 수 있다는 내용의 글이 위의 예문으로 추가하여 놓았습니다.

② small & large ware house는 captin 페이즈의 최종 라운드 (*end*)에 수행합니다.
그러니까 선적의 순서는
1. 공통배에 최대한 실을 수 있는 만큼 강제로 싣는다.
2. 공통배에 싣지 못하면 와프에 싣는다. harbor가 있으면 점수를 또 받는다.
3. 그리고 나서도 더이상 실을 것이 없으면 버려야 하지만, 창고가 있다면 창고의 종류에 따라서 저장할 수 있는 종류 만큼 저장한다.

로 되네요.
