Players have a hand of
cards, up to a maximum of six. Goods cards
represent a type of fish: king crab, lobster, swordfish, tuna, oyster, or
shrimp. These fish will be used to purchase
contracts or buildings at the market.
Additionally, they will be used to fulfill your purchased
contracts. Each contract has an assigned
victory points value and requires a combination of from 3 to 5 fish to fulfill with
each contract’s mix of fish unique. Contracts with more fish score better than
those with less. Trophies are awarded
for being the first or second to fulfill a type of contract. Contracts also provide a special ability that
a player can use until that contract is fulfilled.

The Market Place is
constantly changing. Not only does a new
contract get added each time a contract is purchased but the market rate on one
of the available contracts will change as well.
The incoming contract will determine which rate slot is changed.
