In Come About players are maritime merchant traders in command of a fleet of trading ships navigating along many perilous trade routes. The player with the most ships along the most number of trade routes is declared Nauclerokubernetes , the Greek word for merchant-master. Materials 64 double sided tiles, two sets of 32 tiles in two colors Red and Green. A way of keeping score. Play Come About is played on a board-less playing surface. Two players Red and Green have each two sets of 16 double sided tiles in their chosen color. Red starts by placing a tile either side up onto the table. Players then take turns placing a tile alongside another existing tile, connecting trade routes ( the dotted lines) across tile edges. The game ends when all the tiles have been played. A trade route is a continuous dotted line or loop containing 3 or more ships in either players color. The player having the majority of ships in his color on a trade route scores 1 point for each of his ships. If a trade route has an equal number of ships in both colors, then neither player scores along that trade route. The player with the highest score wins.
