On each turn a player rolls the die and moves their boat forward the indicated amount of spaces. Boats travel around the compass island in clockwise direction. Docks and Harbour area board spaces have special rules about moving (see Board Spaces).

One space can be occupied by multiple boats.

Special situations:

• If an event card instructs you to move backwards, the boat is moved backwards on the path circling the Compass Island. For example, if you have just exited the harbour area and an event tells you to move backwards, the movement happens along the path and not back into the harbour area.

• The Shortcut Shallow can be entered ONLY, if the player has the "Permission to take a Shortcut" Event Card.
