Ticks itself once you've watched nearly all of it.

In a nutshell

  1. Build Expedition: 1 CP; against a trade wind or across a hazardous passage, 2 dice + navigation, 9 or more is safe
  2. Colony: 1 CP more to carry; rolls 2 dice every card draw: 9 or more, a treasure
  3. Raid Spain (Initiate Piracy, 2 CP, no war needed): Spain rolls first, then you; Spain picks your reward
  4. Winter: treasure in hand is thrown away; treasure brought home in winter is kept
France's le Testu crosses the hazardous passage from the Guinea Coast into the Indian Ocean: two dice plus his navigation rating, 3 + 2 + 2 = 7. Seven or eight is damaged, so his counter flips over. At 4:13.
