Work at a spot: the countdown

Exploring

Divers, a landing, a dig: a countdown at the top, the ship at anchor; «Call off» brings the men back.

  1. While your men work, a pill sits at the top: what they do, the phase («boats on the water», «digging»…) and the time left.

  2. «Call off» recalls them. Before half the time — nothing found; after half — half the haul. Setting sail or turning the wheel calls them off too.

  3. The ship glides to a stop over 2–3 seconds and lies at anchor: wind and current do not carry her off. The same timer sits by the portrait. Under fire before half time, up to 30 % of the party may be lost.
