How to Play: Explore
Index -> Board Game -> Actions -> Explore
A ship docked at a wild island can be given an action to explore it. Sea monsters can't be given explore actions. When one of your ships explores an island, one gold token there will be chosen at a time. If it has a numerical gold value, such as 3, it will go right into your ship's cargo hold. You can then decide whether you want to continue to explore, and another token will be chosen.
Once your ship has a number of tokens aboard equal to her cargo capacity, she can't explore any more until you unload the tokens at your home island.
If the token chosen is a sea monster encounter token, curse token, or Davy Jones encounter token, then you've found an encounter! That token will be shown to other players spinning above your ship and that explore action is over.
Unloading Gold at Your Home Island
When one of your ships docks at your home island with gold tokens aboard, those tokens will be automatically unloaded onto your home island (this is a free action).
