Playtip/Game Designer Note:
Pirates and Rum go to together like…well…Pirates and Rum. Rum is a unique treasure, so you need to declare that you have it when you find it. Discovering a cache of rum is both good news and bad news so rum forces you to lose a turn with this ship, and the reward depends on how many crew members are on that ship. Rum is worth 6 treasure, but you lose a treasure value for each crew (those crew like to nip from the bottle). Its final worth at you home island is 6 minus the crew – so it can be a very lucky treasure to find with an empty ship.
