On their turn players use their deck of cards to program their next two actions, then they activate the first of those actions and execute the ability from the card before moving their token along the time track based on the card they played. After the time marker has c aught up to them they resolve the next action they programmed, if they are lucky, their plans go off without a hitch and they cheer loudly as they yank a rug out from under another player. Or all the other players have moved and the other players jeer as their plan is rendered ineffective.

The main board for the game features 2 sides, a tavern on one side and two parallel pirate ships on the other, and on both sides the players decide how to place all of the components on the board so no to games are alike and each brawl presents a new challenge as players all struggle to best use the furniture to their advantage.
