The trickiest part of this game is the construction of the Vote Wheels. The adhesive strips are double-sided so be careful. Fit this over a Rectangular Cardboard Vote Wheel Front and press. You've made a Vote Wheel. Now make five more.
Someone is selected to go first and that person is given The Start Stick.
The other players follow in Clockwise order. The Black Boat is placed in any of the remaining first row Bow Outlines. The other players follow in clockwise order until all pawns have been seated . You are not required to put any of your pawns into your own boat. In fact, the only reason you need to select a boat is for tie breaking purposes.
