Act 1 is free to play, start to finish. No ads. No timers.
One idea runs the game
Many cards change with the tide. Tap a mark on the arc, or turn the tide, and watch two cards from the game change.
Deal 6
At HIGH: Deal 11.
Block 5
At LOW: Block 10.
Low, flood, high, ebb, always in that order. The mark now and the next three are always in front of you.
Some cards move the tide forward or hold it for a turn. The change shows on your cards and on the enemy's next attack, before you end your turn.
Cards you do not play stay in your hand. Keep one for high water, or play it now while the enemy's blow grows too.
The bestiary
Every enemy reacts to the tide in its own way. Learn when each one hits hardest, and plan your hand around it.

On your terms
A voyage's coins are earned in play and end with the voyage.
The game needs no internet to play. It uses the network for store purchases, for an iCloud Drive backup when you start one, and for crash and performance diagnostics.
Open the game and sail. Your runs, progress and settings are kept on your device.
Crash and performance diagnostics are on by default, so problems can be fixed. Switch them off in Settings, under Diagnostics.
Backup and restore are free. The game never backs up on its own: a backup is a file you make, in the place you choose.
