Tips maracaibo

Cards are the core of this game. They have two resources on them, always look ahead at where you will land next and what quests you are approaching and try to ensure you have the cards to match. The best way is to choose from the face up cards display but this will cost you $1 each time. Try to make this free as soon as possible in your boat upgrades. '

Always stop at Maracaibo even if you cannot deliver goods, it is an essential stop to travel up the influence tracks and gain income

Try to buy a crew that all share the same synergy symbol, for example a sailor, 2 treasure hunters and 2 pioneers that all have the anchor symbol. Then when you buy a harbour and get the anchor token your income will skyrocket.

Buy one or two master builders but don't get too greedy with them, it is better to buy crew that give your $2 income and another ability such as swords (sailor) or movement on the explore track (pioneers)

Even if you like a card you have, use it for quests or deliveries, better to get benefits sooner rather than later. You will always find good cards to buy.
