Faster Gameplay:

• Players now draw a new card whenever they discard, keeping the action flowing.
• Exchanging unused actions for a desired action now only requires 2 (previously 3).
• Start the game with 4 Map and Treasure cards (previously 3).
• Each player starts with a random Bounty card.
• Torn sail: You lose 1 sail action each turn (previously: your movement is limited to 1 tile).

Modifications:

• Captain Clarification: Short descriptions for Narwhal and Macaw captains explain their abilities.
• Krabby Jones Power: Krabby Jones can now freely reposition his Carapace tokens for ship defense, even if they were previously removed.
• Some Bounty Cards have been adjusted for easier use and comprehension.
• The Voodoo Doll now spreads its curse to all opponents, increasing its impact.
• Added "draw a new card" on several cards (Kraken, Ocean Pearl, Plank).

Balance tweaks:

• Successful attacks with 2 skulls now deal 1 damage (previously of 2), making them slightly less punishing. But the Plunder Continues! After a successful attack, discard the top 2 cards:
  • 1 skull: Gain 1 Booty point.
  • 2 skulls: Steal a treasure of your choice!
• The Kraken's wrath adjusts, less Booty loss! Players only lose 1 Booty point when attacked by the Kraken, draw 1 damage token and place their marker on the space 0 of the Curse track (preventing immediate re-attacks).

But also:

• Minor graphic adjustments for better readability.
• Adding 15 small tokens to track used and available actions on played cards.
• New Solo Challenge: Play as Archie, freeing the other captains before the Kraken strikes!
