Are you going to be safe & sail around them or take the risk & hope your ship passes safely through it? Getting stuck is no fun except for when it happens to the pirates! 6- Crew When an island runs out of trade cards in the base game they are of no interest Not anymore!

Whoever collects the 8 desired spices the fastest wins! ...
