From the publisher: The game is based on a competition between players, the idea being to make the maximum money profit: 1° For the Masters of the vessels who have the benefit of the freight earned in the various ports and of the discovery of a treasure located in one of the six places around the American Continent. 2° For the International Maritime Bank (I.M.B.) in making a profit out of freights lost by the ships'Masters and out of port dues.
