Field notes
The described sequence moves from provisioning the fleet to choosing its route and pace, then encountering people along the way and attempting to bring the ships home. A Chronicle is presented as a location-by-location account of events, alongside cards, letters, and news. The homepage does not show the game itself, so these are descriptions of the planned experience rather than verified gameplay.
