Ships deals with the history of shipping from the time of the Phoenicians to the modern era The game is divided into three ages marked with different ship types The first age is that of the galley followed by the age of the galleon then finally the steamship age The board combines a track showing the development of ships similar to that in Automobile with a map of Europe & an area representing the rest of the world Your turn is divided into two phases In the first phase you choose to either conduct commerce (such as selling goods taxing locations or improving your warehouse) or take a card selecting one from seven on display; the cards vary in their effects granting money victory points or special actions In the second phase you choose whether to place a ship move a ship or retrieve shipsmerchants When you place a ship you do so in either the merchant box or the warship box in one of eleven levels A merchant means that you can place a merchant cube on the board giving you one or two goods counters to place in your warehouse A warship lets you take control of a location at the cost of one food goods counter Once all of your ships are on the board you can either move them (paying money to advance its level & take the associated action) or retrieve it from the board so that you can place it elsewhere later As ships are placed in a level the cost of placing in the next level reduces — until finally somebody is willing to pay the cost to place in that level (which earns bonus points & possible additional income) When a ship is placed in the first galleon level galleys become redundant; similarly someone placing in the first steamship level makes galleons redundant During the galleon & steamship ages you can pay extra to move more ships so having money in hand gives you a greater range of options & means that you can use your fleet more efficiently When placing ships you can initially place only in "1" locations which are grouped around the eastern Mediterranean Sea Once someone pays to move to a "2" location which are grouped around the western Mediterranean that area opens to others with the other areas being Northern Europe (3) the Americas (4) East Indies (5) & the Pacific (6) As soon as a new area opens players score points for merchants & control discs in the present area with the points earned being the same as the number of the area Ships
