Trade Fleet
Requirements
Description
Collect goods and when you have enough trade them in at a port. Maybe you want to waylay other captains with dock fees or get them lost? Remember, the pirates weren't the richest men on the seas, the traders were.
Players have several different play options each turn including playing a card, playing a port or redeeming goods. By redeeming goods at a port players earn gold which is required to win the game.
We have addressed issues with the Happenings Cards. Lost, Escort, and Taxation have changed. The card mix has also been tweaked to take advantage of the new cards.
Rules version 2.0 is now available.

Nicely themed game set in the Golden Age of Sail. Plays best with 4-5 players. Great artwork.

Truth be told, I didn't know what to expect from Trade Fleet other than you trade goods. So I got it in, perused the rules, and gave it a shot. As a mechanic, it's fairly simple. "That stuff goes t...
Trade Fleet is a good little filler game. It's easy to pick up, and it's quite short, which makes it ideal to play between other games. It doesn't have enough meat to make it "the reason" to get toget...
Trade Fleet is a fantastic game and really fun to play!

The game is elegantly designed and very quick to play. Good with a small group or a handful of players. Cards are well designed and illustrated. The fact that you can only make one action per turn giv...
Trade Fleet is a great looking game with a lot of care put into its presentation. The artwork is top notch as well as the overall card designs. The illustrations match the cards and give you the right...
Brilliantly Simple, Simply Brilliant! Trade Fleet can be learned in seconds! Yes seconds not minutes. A great game to play between those Monster 2-3 hour games, but you may just end up playing this o...
This game is a spin off of our tile laying title, Pirate Waters. It is a casual game that plays in less then 30 minutes and fits in well between rounds of bigger Eurogames. We have recently address...
