You are a character.

You are all adrift at Sea with your Secret Love, Hated Enemy and a few other shady characters.  

Each turn represents one day at sea where all characters get provisions (draw a card) based on position in the boat.

and then everybody can take one action:
            Mug Somebody,
            Change Seats,
            Row, or
            Do Nothing.  



Love and Hate
You'll get points for your own survival as well as that of your secret love card
lovemate


and you get points for the person you secretly hate not surviving.

If you love and hate the same person you get some points whether they live or die.

If you hate yourself, you're a pschopath and get points for everybody that dies.

Regardless of Love and Hate, you'll get points for whatever loot you bring back.

Actions
When you mug somebody or change seats they can fight and you'll compare sizes.
Other players may join in on either side of the fight and weapons add to your size.

The losing side each suffers a wound. Everybody that fought is potentially thirsty for fighting.


Rowing
When you row you, you pull two cards from the navigation deck and decide whether they will be in the possible stack for this turn. Cards in the navigation deck indicate who (if anybody) is thirsty or goes overboard. The navigation cards also might show a boxer or some oars to indicate whether fighters or rowers or both or neither are thirsty.



Anybody who is thirsty must pay a water or get a wound.
Anybody who loses a fight or goes overboard gets a wound.
If your wounds are equal to your size, you are unconscious and get no actions.
If your wounds are greater than your size or if you are unconscious and overboard you die.
The game ends when the fourth bird appears in the navigation cards and you count up points for treasures (paintings, cash, jewels) as well as survival and love and hate.
