Sea Port (Type: Town)
Bridging the gap between land and sea, mills quickly became bustling trade-ports, filled with traders and sailors buying and selling goods of all kinds. Farmers and Fishermen, Miners and Merchants all needed to ship their products to distant places, and sea ports fulfilled that need.
You cannot build a Sea Port directly. You may only establish a Sea Port by upgrading one of your Mills, which sits on a coastal intersection and borders a sea hex or the frame. Building a Sea Port requires 2 Grain resources and 2 Ore resources. Pay the building costs, return the Mill to your supply, and replace it with a Sea Port.
- When you upgrade a Mill to a Sea Port, you may immediately place 1 Victory Point Chit face-up in front of you.
- A Sea Port has a basin that can hold various game pieces. A basic can accommodate 1 large piece (settler, fish haul, Strong Knight on Horseback) or 2 small pieces (Crew Members, spice sacks).
Sea Ports must be constructed on coastal intersections, touching at least one sea hex. They do not need to be built on a harbor or fish shoal. While boats can depart from any type of coastal building, Ships can only load/unload/set sail from Mills and Sea Ports.
- Each Sea Port has one (1) sloped roof and 1 flat roof, so it can harvest one (1) Resource Card and one (1) Commodity Card).
- Each Sea Port costs _____.
