+From the end of the American Revolution, commercial vessels of the young United +States republic were easy prey for the pirates of the Barbary coast. In 1801, +newly inaugurated President Thomas Jefferson was eager to put an end to this +threat and sent a "squadron of observation" to the Mediterranean. As the +squadron arrived in Gibraltar, they learned that the bashaw of Tripoli had +already declared WAR! + +

+The Shores of Tripoli plays out this exciting episode of Early American +military history. As the United States, one player will pressure Tripolitania +to allow the free movement of American merchant vessels - or face the +consequences. As the bashaw of Tripoli, the other player will continue the +lucrative piracy of the fearsome corsairs while countering the American threat +on land and sea. + +

+

fter the American Revolution, American

+

merchants lost the protection the British

+

navy gave to their ships on the seas. In 1785, the

+

loss of that protection took on real meaning when

+

the Ottoman regency of Algiers captured two

+

American merchant vessels and took their crews

+

into captivity. Over the next decade, American

+

diplomats tried to establish treaties with the four

+

Barbary states (Morocco, Algiers, Tunis, and

+

Tripoli) so that no more American ships would

+

be captured, though around a dozen more were

+

captured in the intervening time. In the late 1790s,

+

all four states agreed to treaties with the United

+

States, but the demands in those treaties were a

+

steep price for the United States to pay.

+

The Barbary states had been operating a protection

+

racket in the Mediterranean for hundreds of years;

+

in exchange for leaving a nation’s ships alone, the

+

Barbary rulers insisted on being paid money and

+

gifts, sometimes at regular intervals but more often

+

upon the slightest pretext. The United States had

+

neither the resources nor the patience to keep up

+

this system indefinitely. Beginning in 1794, the

+

federal government made halfhearted preparations

+

to send a naval force to the Mediterranean to take

+

care of the problem by force, but undeclared war

+

with France between 1798 and 1800 got in the way.

+

When the navy finally left for the Mediterranean in

+

1801, Tripoli had already declared war.

+

1801

+

When the first squadron arrived in the

+

Mediterranean in July 1801, the United States

+

was no longer at peace. On May 14, 1801, Yusuf

+

Karamanli had ordered the flagpole cut down at

+

the American consulate in Tripoli, a signal that he

+

had declared war. In response, on July 23, William

+

Eaton, American consul at Tunis, announced in a

+

circular that Tripoli was officially under blockade,

+

anticipating Commodore Dale’s probable strategy.

+

In principle, Dale agreed with Eaton’s actions,

+

writing to the Secretary of the Navy, “Should the

+

United States Determin to carry on the War against

+

Tripoli it will be highly necessary to keep it closly

+

Blockaded.”

+

When the squadron arrived in July, the commodore,

+

Richard Dale, was surprised to learn that war had

+

been declared. That change meant the plans that

+

had been laid had to change. Given the difficulties

+

of the task, it is not surprising that during Dale’s

+

command no decisive action occurred. For this first

+

cruise, there was little that could be done aside from

+

cruise off Tripoli and convoy merchants from one

+

end of the Mediterranean to the other. With only

+

three frigates and a schooner in the squadron, each

+

ship had more than enough to keep it busy.

+

THE FIRST

+

BARBARY WAR

+

2

+

A

+
+
+

ENTERPRIZE V. TRIPOLI

+

Once all the ships were assigned to a task, only

+

one frigate was left to actually do the blockade of

+

Tripoli. The President was meant to maintain the

+

blockade along with the Enterprize. As it turned

+

out, between sickness, bad weather, and ship repairs,

+

the President spent almost no time before Tripoli.

+

The one action of any consequence during the first

+

squadron’s cruise was accomplished not by one of

+

the frigates, but by the schooner Enterprize on its

+

way to Malta to get water for the President.

+

The encounter between the Enterprize, captained

+

by Andrew Sterett, and the 14-gun, 80-man Tripoli

+

was a promising start for the American squadron.

+

On August 1, 1801, while flying British colors, the

+

Enterprize sighted a ship. When Sterett asked what

+

the ship was doing, its commander replied that

+

it was out “to cruise after the Americans.” Upon

+

hearing this reply, Sterett hauled down the British

+

colors, which he had been sailing under in order

+

to deceive any potential threats, and raised the

+

American flag, firing muskets into the Tripoli. The

+

Tripoli fired a partial broadside in return.

+

The fight lasted about three hours, during which

+

time the Tripolitans attempted to board the

+

Enterprize three times. Each time the crew and

+

marines repulsed them. The Tripoli’s captain

+

also tried a strategy that most sailors considered

+

dishonorable: striking his colors and then resuming

+

the fight. The third time the Tripoli struck, Sterett

+

disregarded the surrender and ordered the vessel

+

to be sunk. Eventually the Tripoli’s crew “cried for

+

mercy,” and Sterett ordered their officers to come

+

on board the Enterprize. He refused to board the

+

Tripoli with his own officers, lest this cry for mercy

+

be yet another trick.

+

After lying about the destruction of their boat, the

+

Tripolitans eventually came over to the Enterprize

+

and revealed the extent of the devastation Sterett

+

and his crew had wreaked. Twenty of the eighty

+

crewmen had been killed, with another thirty

+

wounded. The captain and first lieutenant had

+

been wounded, and the second lieutenant and

+

surgeon killed. The Tripoli itself suffered so much

+

damage that it was almost unable to be sailed,

+

“having received 18 shot between wind and water.”

+

By contrast, the Enterprize had suffered almost

+

no structural damage and none of the crew were

+

injured at all.

+

Because Sterett’s orders did not permit him to take

+

an enemy ship as prize, he had to let the Tripoli go,

+

but not before he cut down its masts and threw all

+

its guns overboard. In practical terms, this victory

+

meant little, but it purportedly demoralized the

+

Tripolitans so much that all the sailors who were

+

to man other corsair vessels deserted them instead.

+

On the American side, it helped to throw popular

+

opinion behind the use of force against the Barbary

+

states.

+

STALEMATE

+

Capitalizing on the Enterprize’s victory proved

+

impossible. The difficulty of maintaining peace with

+

the other Barbary states, and maintaining a very

+

small squadron far from supplies and manpower,

+

proved barriers too high to overcome.

+

As winter fell, the American squadron gave up even

+

the pretense of blockade. Sailors’ enlistments were

+

3

+
+
+

coming to an end, and the squadron’s ships one

+

by one were ordered home. The war with Tripoli

+

was in stalemate, relations with the other Barbary

+

states were fragile but holding, and despite the

+

Enterprize’s victory, the Americans had generally

+

demonstrated that they were only a lesser power in

+

the Mediterranean community.

+

1802

+

The first few months of 1802 saw little activity from

+

Dale or his squadron. Hamstrung by ineffectual

+

orders and serious repairs to his ship, Dale spent

+

the winter of 1801-1802 in Toulon. Dale himself

+

prepared to head back to the United States, as his

+

term as commodore was up. The Secretary of the

+

Navy prepared to send a new squadron in order to

+

arrive in time to re-engage with Tripoli once the

+

winter weather cleared.

+

However, back in the United States there were

+

delays in forming the new squadron. When

+

Dale and the President returned home, the next

+

commodore had not yet even left the United States.

+

At least there was a new commodore, though:

+

Richard Valentine Morris.

+

With his confidence in the navy’s skill waning,

+

William Eaton, erstwhile consul at Tunis, began

+

to take matters into his own hands. He and James

+

Leander Cathcart, the displaced consul at Tripoli,

+

came up with a plan to reinstate Hamet Karamanli,

+

the older brother of the reigning bashaw, Yusuf

+

Karamanli. Yusuf had deposed Hamet some years

+

previous, and Hamet had fled to Egypt. Now Eaton

+

and Cathcart wanted to bring him back.

+

When Richard Valentine Morris finally arrived in

+

the Mediterranean, he found that relations with

+

Morocco were at a breaking point. Several tense

+

weeks resulted, though consul James Simpson at

+

Tangier was able to finally talk the Moroccan sultan

+

into a fragile peace.

+

In June 1802, an American vessel, the Franklin

+

was captured by a Tripolitan cruiser. The crew

+

of the vessel was sent to Algiers, where the

+

Americans had to rely on the good graces of the

+

British consul in Algiers and the Danish consul in

+

Tripoli, Nicholas Nissen. Eventually Algiers took

+

a hand in redeeming the captives, an outcome

+

that only weakened the American position in the

+

Mediterranean.

+

Since Richard Valentine Morris seemed disinclined

+

to act against any of the Barbary powers with force,

+

other captains in the squadron stepped up. Morris

+

spent almost no time on the blockade of Tripoli.

+

The two who took the lead most frequently were

+

also the most irascible: Alexander Murray and

+

Daniel McNeill. Murray and McNeill made no

+

secret of their disdain for procedure or for their

+

allies.

+

As the year 1802 came to a close, relations with

+

both enemies and allies were more fragile than ever

+

before. Morris’s apathy did not go unnoticed. In

+

1803, the commodore was ordered home to face a

+

court-martial for dereliction of duty.

+

1803

+

1803 was a year of considerable diplomatic turmoil

+

4

+
+
+

in the other Barbary states as well as Tripoli.

+

From the very beginning of the year, Commodore

+

Morris could not keep up a show of strength in

+

relations with Algiers and Tunis, capitulating to

+

their demands or putting them off as best he could.

+

Consul James Simpson believed that Morocco

+

was colluding with Tripoli to break the American

+

blockade, and subsequent events gave rather more

+

credence to that belief.

+

After an abortive attempt to negotiate with Tripoli,

+

Morris returned to Malta (where his wife and new

+

baby were residing). He would not leave Malta

+

again for any significant length of time during

+

his tenure. Meanwhile, James Simpson tried

+

desperately to keep the peace in Morocco.

+

Commodore Morris’s replacement, Edward Preble,

+

arrived in Gibraltar on September 13, one day after

+

Morris received his recall papers from one of the

+

advance ships in Preble’s squadron. Morris returned

+

home to face a court-martial for his apathetic

+

leadership, while Preble had to begin to try to patch

+

things back together. His first task was to deal with

+

the Morocco problem. It was increasingly clear that

+

Morocco was helping Tripoli, and Preble had to

+

find a way to stop it. It took Preble nearly a month

+

to restore peace with the emperor.

+

CAPTURE OF THE

+

PHILADELPHIA

+

On October 31, the focus of the war suddenly

+

shifted from Morocco to Tripoli. While cruising off

+

Tripoli, the Philadelphia had sighted a Tripolitan

+

vessel. Pursuing the vessel into Tripoli harbor,

+

the frigate had run aground four or five miles

+

east of the town. Despite cutting away anchors,

+

guns, and even the foremast, the crew could not

+

lift the Philadelphia off the bar. Four hours of

+

fire from Tripolitan gunboats and shore batteries

+

convinced Captain William Bainbridge that he

+

could not hope to defeat them. Around sunset, the

+

Philadelphia struck its colors and the ship’s crew

+

were taken prisoner.

+

Though several European nations rallied to the

+

aid of the American prisoners, there was little

+

Commodore Preble could do. Without diplomatic

+

representation in the Tripolitan court, he had to

+

rely on the generosity of others, particularly the

+

Danish consul Nicholas Nissen, to provide for

+

the captives. Any retaliatory action would have to

+

wait until spring when the weather improved. As

+

the year ended, Preble did get some good news:

+

the Enterprize and the Constitution had captured

+

a small Tripolitan ketch named the Mastico. They

+

renamed the ketch the Intrepid and began to make

+

plans for it.

+

1804

+

Throughout the war, certain consuls became

+

convinced that a naval war was not going to end

+

the war on favorable terms for the United States. In

+

1804, William Eaton increased his work to find a

+

different solution: reinstate the deposed brother of

+

the reigning bashaw, and negotiate a more favorable

+

treaty with him.

+

Hamet, the deposed older brother of Yusuf

+

Karamanli, liked Eaton’s plan in principle, but

+

Eaton found Hamet extremely challenging to work

+

5

+
+
+

with. Reports were that Yusuf ’s hold on Tripoli

+

was loosening, so the time was ripe to bring Hamet

+

forward. But Hamet, despite requesting money and

+

supplies repeatedly, could not be convinced to begin

+

the journey toward Tripoli.

+

While Eaton worked with Hamet, Commodore

+

Preble re-evaluated the navy’s strategy. He

+

concluded that blockading was not sufficient, so

+

he began to make plans to also bombard the city

+

of Tripoli. But first he had to take care of the

+

Philadelphia problem.

+

On February 16, 1804, a handpicked group of men

+

under the command of Stephen Decatur took the

+

ketch Intrepid to Tripoli harbor, accompanied by

+

the Syren. The Intrepid slipped into the harbor

+

and up to the side of the Philadelphia. As quietly

+

and quickly as possible, the sailors boarded the

+

Philadelphia, set charges and then got off. The ship

+

burned to a hulk, so brightly that Syren’s crew, miles

+

away, could see the flames.

+

This action did little tactically or strategically, but

+

it improved morale tremendously for the American

+

sailors in the Mediterranean. But the next course

+

of action was simply to resume the blockade, a

+

task Preble intended to perform with much more

+

stringency than his predecessors. After preparations

+

for months, Preble was finally ready to take the full

+

squadron to Tripoli.

+

On August 3, the squadron engaged the Tripolitans

+

off the port of Tripoli. The Americans lost no ships

+

and only one officer, and they took many prisoners.

+

After the battle, Preble stayed off Tripoli for a

+

month waiting for the bashaw to communicate

+

with him. When nothing was forthcoming, Preble

+

decided to try yet another approach.

+

The Intrepid once again proved its worth, as

+

Preble ordered it converted into a fireship, which

+

Lt. Richard Somers volunteered to pilot into the

+

harbor and then detonate near the Tripolitan ships.

+

The next day, after loading the Intrepid with the

+

explosives, Somers and a small crew began to sail

+

the ketch into the harbor. The crew was supposed

+

to light a small fire to distract any Tripolitans who

+

might try to stop them, but instead, as the Intrepid

+

reached its destination, the entire ship blew up

+

prematurely while the crew was still on board.

+

The entire crew was killed, including Midshipman

+

Henry Wadsworth, who had been in the

+

Mediterranean longer than almost any other officer.

+

Shortly after the Intrepid disaster, Commodore

+

Preble had to return home. Though the loss of the

+

ship had been a morale blow, Preble had at least

+

ratcheted up the pressure on Tripoli. His successor

+

would have to try to capitalize on some of that

+

success.

+

1805

+

The new commodore who arrived at the end of

+

1804 was in no condition to capitalize on Edward

+

Preble’s success. The commodore, Samuel Barron,

+

was so sick he could barely sail, and the American

+

ships were scattered throughout the Mediterranean

+

to make much-needed repairs and find supplies.

+

Though Barron would not be on board, he ordered

+

the President, the Constitution, and the Constellation

+

off Tripoli for a cruise. The Nautilus was to cruise

+

6

+
+
+

off Tunis after a quick convoy trip. The Essex was

+

ordered to Venice, where Captain James Barron was

+

to try to acquire gunboats from the government

+

there. Commodore Barron was not sanguine about

+

Captain Barron’s chances, but since Naples had not

+

worked out, he felt he had no choice. While the

+

Essex, Constitution, and President prepared for the

+

cruise in Malta, they were met by the Nautilus, who

+

brought in a Tripolitan brig.

+

Captain John Rodgers felt that the time was

+

quickly approaching to strike the death blow to

+

the Tripolitans. Tripoli’s fleet of gunboats had not

+

increased since the winter, and Rodgers wanted

+

to strike before the circumstances changed. But

+

other than infrequent chases, the squadron saw

+

little activity in their cruise before Tripoli. The

+

real action was happening nearly 600 miles away,

+

where William Eaton and a ragtag band of warriors

+

prepared for an assault on Derna.

+

WILLIAM EATON AND THE

+

SHORES OF TRIPOLI

+

On December 1, 1804, William Eaton and a small

+

American force of marines arrived in Rosetta,

+

Egypt, preparing to find Hamet. Successfully

+

navigating the political landscape in Egypt proved

+

complicated for Eaton, but eventually he was able

+

to find Hamet and rendezvous with him outside

+

Alexandria on February 5. It wasn’t until February

+

23 that the two came to an agreement about the

+

plan for the coup and the promised results.

+

On March 4, Hamet and Eaton’s company, now

+

numbering about 400 since some local warriors

+

had joined them, began the march across the desert

+

to Derna in Tripoli. Derna wasn’t the capital of

+

Tripoli, but Eaton hoped a victory at Derna would

+

put enough pressure on Yusuf to turn the tide.

+

As they marched, the numbers of men waxed and

+

waned, as various group became disgruntled and

+

left, or heard about the coup and wanted to join.

+

After meeting up with the Argus on April 16, the

+

men were resupplied and began to plan the attack

+

on Derna.

+

Eaton’s forces started the attack on Derna around

+

2:00pm on April 26. By 4:00pm, they had taken

+

the fort. It was a significant victory for a largely

+

unorganized and uncooperative group. However,

+

once Eaton’s company took Derna, their momentum

+

disintegrated. Eaton realized now that Hamet could

+

not be trusted to continue the campaign on his

+

own, so he felt obliged to stay and see the operation

+

through. The navy felt no such compunction. Barron

+

and Lear had concluded that Hamet Karamanli

+

now should be left to his own fate, and the newly

+

appointed Commodore John Rodgers agreed.

+

PEACE

+

Even before the news of Derna’s fall came, Yusuf

+

Karamanli was putting out feelers for peace. On

+

May 29, he sent a messenger to negotiator Tobias

+

Lear with an opening offer. On June 10, the peace

+

treaty was officially drawn up. After meeting with

+

the bashaw on June 20, Commodore Rodgers

+

weighed anchor from Tripoli on June 21 along with

+

Colonel Lear. Peace with Tripoli had been restored.

+

he Shores of Tripoli is my first game design.

+

I never expected to be a game designer,

+

but in 2016 I received a copy of Thomas Jefferson

+

and the Tripoli Pirates (by Brian Kilmeade and

+

Don Yaeger) and became fascinated by the First

+

Barbary War. I was shocked that there was not a

+

game on this episode of Early American history.

+

I did a little more research and realized that this

+

topic would make an excellent game.

+

The Shores of Tripoli was destined to be a card-

+

driven game. From the classic We the People,

+

to heavier titles like Sword of Rome and Here I

+

Stand, to two of my all-time favorites, Twilight

+

Struggle and 1960: The Making of the President, I

+

have been enamored with how card-driven games

+

can convey so much history and yet be so fun to

+

play. I knew that I wanted The Shores of Tripoli to

+

be educational—that after two or three plays, a

+

player would have a good grasp of not only the

+

history but the choices and challenges for both

+

the United States and Tripolitania. The best way

+

to do that was with small individual decks for

+

each nation—unlike in a game with a shared

+

deck, where a side may not see some of its most

+

interesting cards, with individual decks each

+

player will see their best cards and the crunch is

+

when and how to best use those cards.

+

The victory conditions for the United States were

+

easy to determine. After three years of frustration,

+

the United States stepped up its blockade and

+

hatched a plan to replace Yusuf Qaramanli, the

+

Tripolitan bashaw, with his pro-American brother

+

Hamet Qaramanli. The pressure convinced Yusuf

+

to sign a treaty favorable to the United States.

+

Thus, the Treaty of Peace and Amity and Assault

+

on Tripoli cards. For Tripolitania, the goal was to

+

have the American price in blood or treasure too

+

high so the Americans would capitulate and start

+

paying tribute again. Thus, the winning conditions

+

for Tripolitania. With only a maximum of

+

twenty-four turns, the tension in Tripoli comes

+

from each side having too much to do and not

+

enough time to do it. I am very pleased with

+

the excitement near the end of the game, when

+

Tripolitania is racing to get its twelfth gold or

+

sink the fourth American frigate before the U.S.

+

can play its Treaty card or its Assault card.

+

In designing the game, I wanted to emphasize

+

that Tripolitania was a rational actor and that

+

the First Barbary War was not “the first war on

+

terror.” It was a state versus state conflict like

+

so many others of that time. There were some

+

key episodes in the war that I knew I wanted to

+

communicate. The initial arrival of the American

+

fleet into Gibraltar with the Americans not

+

knowing if they were at war or peace, the rather

+

dismal partnership with Sweden in blockading

+

Tripoli, the threat of entry into the war by Algiers,

+

Morocco and Tunis, the capture and subsequent

+

burning of the Philadelphia, and the capture of

+

Derne. I also wanted to make sure the key figures

+

made their appearance—Qaramanli and Reis for

+

Tripolitania and O’Bannon, Eaton, Sterett, Preble,

+

Decatur and Bainbridge for the United States.

+

I would have liked to have included a card for

+

Richard Somers, who died while commanding the

+

Intrepid, but the 27-card limit did not allow.

+

+

DESIGNER’S

+

NOTES

+

T

+
+
+

In addition to being educational, I also wanted the

+

game to be approachable. Nothing pleased me more

+

during in-person play testing than to see a couple

+

play against each other or a parent play with an

+

older child—and everyone having fun. I knew that

+

the game needed to play in an hour or less and have

+

simple mechanics. The presentation also needed to

+

be outstanding—hence, the solid wood pieces and

+

beautiful map and cards. But at the same time, the

+

game also needed complex decision-making and

+

solid replayability. The perfect blend of simplicity

+

and complexity is a difficult needle to thread, but I

+

hope we succeeded.

+

I did have to make some trade-offs between

+

historical accuracy and playability. For example,

+

the American fleet consisted of frigates, brigs

+

and schooners but I treat all the American

+

ships as frigates. The main Tripolitan fleet was

+

a hodgepodge of vessels that I standardized as

+

“corsairs.” Sweden had already declared war on

+

Tripoli in 1800 and exited the war in 1802, while

+

in the game the earliest they leave is 1803. I also

+

had to create some alternate history cards for the

+

potential assault on Tripoli. General Eaton Attacks

+

Benghazi, Assault on Tripoli, Marine Sharpshooters,

+

and Send in the Marines, as well as Constantinople

+

Sends Aid are all cards from that alternate history.

+

Similarly, the Algerine, Moroccan, and Tunisian

+

cards represent the threat that Tripoli’s allies posed

+

to the United States, but their allies did very little

+

during the actual war. Finally, to allow each player

+

a bit more freedom to explore their options and

+

strategies, the game can go until the end of 1806,

+

whereas the war itself ended in June of 1805.

+

Thank you so much for buying The Shores of Tripoli.

+

I am very grateful for the assistance provided by

+

the U.S. Naval History and Heritage Command,

+

the Marine Corps History Division, the Mariners

+

Museum in Newport News and the U.S. Naval

+

Academy Museum. I am also extremely grateful

+

for the hundreds of play testers who took the time

+

and effort to take the print and play files and build

+

the game and provide amazing feedback. Finally, I

+

really appreciate all of the Kickstarter backers who

+

put their money and faith in our project. Thank you

+

everyone!

SUGGESTED BIBLIOGRAPHY

+

In addition to Thomas Jefferson and the Tripoli

+

Pirates, ABC Whipple’s To the Shores of Tripoli:

+

The Birth of the U.S. Navy and Marines and Joshua

+

London’s Victory in Tripoli: How America’s War with

+

the Barbary Pirates Established the U.S. Navy and

+

Shaped a Nation both provide good overviews of

+

the conflict. I am also a fan of Osprey Publishing’s

+

“Essential Histories” series and their The Wars of the

+

Barbary Pirates by Gregory Fremont-Barnes does

+

not disappoint.

+

For more in-depth reading, Chipp Reid’s pair of

+

books Intrepid Sailors: The Legacy of Preble’s Boys

+

and the Tripoli Campaign and To the Walls of Derne:

+

William Eaton, the Tripoli Coup, and the End of the

+

First Barbary War are both outstanding. Ian Toll’s

+

Six Frigates: The Epic History of the Founding of the

+

U.S. Navy is a masterpiece on the early history of

+

the U.S. Navy. Benjamin Armstrong’s Small Boats

+

and Daring Men: Maritime Raiding, Irregular

+

Warfare, and the Early American Navy is an excellent

+

survey of maritime raids and irregular warfare

+

from the first fifty years of American naval history.

+

There are plenty of biographies to choose from but

+

the two I recommend are Edward Preble: A Naval

+

Biography 1761-1807 by Christopher McKee and

+

A Call to the Sea: Captain Charles Stewart of the USS

+

Constitution by Claude Berube and John Rodgaard.

+

Finally, watch for Abby Mullen’s A Difficult

+

Undertaking: Conflict and Cooperation in the First

+

Barbary War, 1801-1805, coming in 2022.

If you are interested in podcasts, “Sea Control” by

+

the Center for International Maritime Security

+

(www.cimsec.org) and “Preble Hall” by the United

+

States Naval Academy Museum (www.usna.edu/

+

museum/) are both fantastic. “Sea Control” has

+

some excellent episodes on both naval history

+

and war gaming. “Preble Hall” has a number of

+

outstanding episodes, but my favorite is EP3:

+

The Tripoli War with Dr. Abby Mullen. The two-

+

episode special collaboration between “Sea Control”

+

and “Preble Hall” is also not to be missed.

GAME MAP

+

The game map consists of nine harbors, five naval

+

patrol zones, and the open sea.

+

The nine harbors are color-coded circles on the

+

map. The blue harbors (Gibraltar, Malta, and

+

Alexandria) are friendly to the United States. The

+

red harbors (Tripoli, Benghazi, and Derne) are

+

controlled by Tripolitania. The orange harbors

+

(Algiers, Tangier, and Tunis) are potential allies

+

of Tripolitania. Four harbors (Tripoli, Benghazi,

+

Derne, and Alexandria) also double as cities for

+

infantry units.

+

The five patrol zones are the lightly shaded

+

partial circles adjacent to five harbors (Tripoli,

+

Algiers, Tangier, Tunis, and Gibraltar). American

+

and Swedish frigates patrol these zones against

+

corsairs leaving their corresponding harbor.

+

The open sea is where corsairs engage in piracy.

+

Corsairs return to their home ports after pirating,

+

so no corsairs will end their turn in the open sea.

+

The map also includes two tracks (a Year Turn

+

Track and a Seasonal Phase Track) as well as

+

“supply” boxes where unused ships and infantry

+

units may be placed.

+

GAME PIECES

+

The United States and Allies

+

American frigates are the workhorses

+

of the American navy. Each American

+

frigate fires two dice when rolling in

+

Naval Combat, Bombardment, or Interception.

+

American frigates take two hits to sink.

+

American gunboats provide

+

additional firepower to the American

+

fleet. Each American gunboat fires

+

one die in Naval Combat and Bombardment.

+

American gunboats take one hit to sink.

+

Swedish frigates only patrol the naval

+

patrol zone of Tripoli. Each Swedish

+

frigate fires two dice when rolling an

+

Interception. Swedish frigates do not move nor do

+

they participate in Naval Combat.

+

Hamet’s Army is the combined

+

Arab and American infantry force

+

dedicated to installing the pro-

+

American Hamet Qaramanli on the Tripolitan

+

throne. White cubes are Arab infantry and blue

+

cubes are Marines. Each infantry unit fires one

+

die in Ground Combat and takes one hit to be

+

eliminated.

+

Tripolitania and Allies

+

Tripolitan corsairs are the pirating

+

ships of the Tripolitan navy. Each

+

Tripolitan corsair fires one die when

+

rolling in Naval Combat or making a Pirate Raid.

+

Tripolitan corsairs take one hit to sink.

+

+

Tripolitan frigates primarily defend

+

Tripoli and do not engage in Pirate

+

Raids. Each Tripolitan frigate

+

fires two dice when rolling in Naval Combat.

+

Tripolitan frigates take two hits to sink.

+

Tripolitan infantry defend the

+

Tripolitan cities from Hamet’s Army.

+

Each Tripolitan infantry unit fires one

+

die in Ground Combat and takes one hit to be

+

eliminated.

+

The allies of Tripolitania - Morocco,

+

Algiers, and Tunis - may join the war.

+

A Tripolitan ally is considered “active”

+

or “at war” if there are any corsairs in their harbor.

+

Moroccan, Algerine, and Tunisian corsairs fire

+

one die when rolling in Naval Combat or making

+

a Pirate Raid. Moroccan, Algerine, and Tunisian

+

corsairs take one hit to sink.

+

+
+
+

Markers and Coins

+

The two black cylinders are used to mark the year

+

and season. The twelve gold pieces start with the

+

American player but are acquired by the Tripolitan

+

player through tribute and piracy.

+

CARD DECKS

+

There are two decks of cards - the American card

+

deck is blue-backed with a picture of Thomas

+

Jefferson and the Tripolitan deck is red-backed

+

with a picture of Yusuf Qaramanli. Each deck

+

contains twenty-one event cards and six battle

+

cards. The Tripolitan deck also includes three

+

additional cards that are used for solitaire play only.

+

Event Cards

+

There are three different types of event cards - core

+

events, unique events, and common events.

+

Core event cards begin the game face-up in

+

front of the player and do not count against the

+

eight-card hand limit. Core cards may be played for

+

their event and are removed from the game when

+

played.

+

Unique event cards may be played for their

+

event or may be discarded to take an action.

+

Actions are discussed in the Sequence of Play

+

section. If the card is played for the event, it is

+

removed from the game. If it is played to take an

+

action, it is placed in the discard pile.

+

The American deck contains two victory event

+

cards. These two cards are discussed in the Victory

+

Conditions section.

+

Common event cards do not have an icon. They

+

may be played for their event or may be discarded

+

to take an action. After play, as an event or for an

+

action, it is placed in the discard pile.

+

When an event card is played for the event, it is

+

considered the active event card for the season. This

+

is important for the play of certain battle cards.

+

Some event cards require certain conditions to be

+

met before being played for the event.

+

Cards placed in the discard pile are placed face up

+

and the discard pile is always considered open.

+

Battle Cards

+

Battle cards are not played for a player’s

+

seasonal turn. They are played “out of turn” in

+

response to certain conditions, such as Ground

+

Combat or a successful Pirate Raid. They may only

+

be played as a battle card if the conditions listed on

+

the card are met. Battle cards may also be discarded

+

to take an action.

+

VICTORY CONDITIONS

+

The American player wins the game by either

+

forcing the Tripolitan player to sign a peace treaty

+

favorable to the Americans or by capturing Tripoli

+

and installing Hamet Qaramanli on the throne.

+

Both of these conditions are achieved through card

+

play.

+

If the American player plays

+

the Treaty of Peace and Amity,

+

the game immediately ends

+

in an American victory. In

+

order to play this card, the

+

American player must meet

+

four requirements, which are

+

also listed on the card.

+

1. It must be the Fall of 1805 or later.

+

2. All three potential Tripolitan allies must be at

+

peace—meaning there are no orange corsairs in

+

Algiers, Tangier, or Tunis.

+

3. The city of Derne must have been captured by

+

Hamet’s Army.

+

4. Finally, there must be no Tripolitan frigates in

+

the harbor of Tripoli.

+

4

+
+
+

If all four of these requirements are met, Yusuf

+

Qaramanli will concede and sign the peace treaty.

+

The American player may

+

also win by capturing Tripoli.

+

To capture Tripoli, the

+

American player plays Assault

+

on Tripoli and then must

+

eliminate the Tripolitan navy

+

in Naval Combat and then

+

eliminate the Tripolitan army

+

in Ground Combat. This is discussed in greater

+

detail in the Assault on Tripoli section. Assault on

+

Tripoli may not be played prior to the Fall of 1805.

+

The Tripolitan player wins by making the cost in

+

blood and treasure too high for the United States

+

and thus forcing the United States into submitting

+

to Tripolitania and paying tribute. The Tripolitan

+

player can achieve this result in one of three ways.

+

First, if the Tripolitan player acquires twelve gold,

+

the game ends immediately. The Tripolitan player

+

gains gold by receiving tribute and engaging in

+

piracy. Gold acquired by Tripolitan allies counts

+

toward this goal.

+

Second, if the Tripolitan player sinks four

+

American frigates, the game ends immediately.

+

The Tripolitan player can sink American frigates in

+

Naval Combat and by play of the Storms and The

+

Philadelphia Runs Aground cards.

+

Finally, if the Tripolitan player eliminates Hamet’s

+

Army, the game ends immediately. Because the

+

Tripolitan infantry are stationary, this happens

+

while defending Derne, Benghazi or Tripoli.

+

If neither player has achieved victory by the end of

+

1806, the game ends in a draw.

+

GAME SETUP

+

1. The American player (north side of the map):

+

• places three frigates in the harbor of Gibraltar,

+

• places one frigate each on the 1802, 1803, and

+

1804 spaces on the Year Turn Track, and

+

• takes the three American core cards (Thomas

+

Jefferson, Swedish Frigates Arrive, and Hamet’s

+

Army Created) and places them face-up in front

+

of the player.

+

2. The Tripolitan player (south side of the map):

+

• places two corsairs in the harbor of Gibraltar,

+

• places four corsairs in the harbor of Tripoli,

+

• places four infantry in Tripoli, two infantry in

+

Benghazi, and two infantry in Derne,

+

• takes the three Tripolitan core cards (Yusuf

+

Qaramanli, Murad Reis Breaks Out and

+

Constantinople Sends Aid) and places them face-

+

up in front of the player, and

+

• removes the three solitaire cards (Second

+

Storms, Five Corsair Check, and Raid or Build)

+

from their deck and returns them to the game

+

box.

+

3. Each player shuffles their remaining twenty-four

+

cards to create their own draw pile.

+

4. The remaining ships and infantry are placed

+

on the respective supply boxes on the board. The

+

twelve gold coins are placed off the board on the

+

American player’s side.

+

5. One turn marker is put on 1801 and the other

+

turn marker is put on Spring. You are now ready to

+

begin!

+

Note: The American frigates and Tripolitan

+

corsairs peacefully coexist in the British-controlled

+

harbor of Gibraltar.

+

+

SEQUENCE OF PLAY

+

The Shores of Tripoli is played over six years. Each

+

year consists of a “Start of Year” phase and then

+

four seasonal rounds.

+

START OF YEAR

+

At the beginning of each year, the seasonal marker

+

is reset to Spring. The American player takes any

+

American frigates from that year on the Year Turn

+

Track and places them in the harbor of Gibraltar.

+

The Tripolitan player takes any Tripolitan frigates

+

from that year on the Year Turn Track and places

+

them in the harbor of Tripoli.

+

At the start of 1801-1804: each player draws six

+

cards from their draw pile.

+

At the start of 1805: each player shuffles their

+

discard pile to create a new draw pile and then

+

draws six cards from their draw pile.

+

At the start of 1806: each player draws all of the

+

cards remaining in their draw pile.

+

Drawn cards are added to any cards that remained

+

in hand from the prior year.

+

Each player has a hand limit of eight cards. If

+

after the card draw their hand exceeds the limit,

+

each player discards down to eight cards. Any

+

cards discarded are placed face up in the discard

+

pile. Remember that the core cards in front of each

+

player do not count toward the eight-card limit.

+

SEASONAL ROUNDS

+

Each seasonal round consists of:

+

1. American play

+

2. Tripolitan play

+

3. End of Season

+

The American player may do one of the following:

+

• Play a card as an event

+

• Discard a card to move up to two frigates

+

• Discard a card to build a gunboat in Malta

+

The Tripolitan player may do one of the following:

+

• Play a card as an event

+

• Discard a card to Pirate Raid with the

+

corsairs from Tripoli

+

• Discard a card to build a Tripolitan corsair

+

in Tripoli

+

A player may not pass unless out of cards in hand.

+

Core cards may never be discarded to take an

+

action.

+

After four seasonal rounds, the year is over and a

+

new year begins.

+

AMERICAN PLAY

+

When a card is played as an event, its event text is

+

read and resolved. This card is considered the active

+

event card for the American turn. Core event cards

+

and unique event cards are removed from the

+

game if played as an event.

+

When a card is discarded to move up to two

+

frigates, the card is placed in the American discard

+

pile. The American player may choose to move

+

zero frigates but still must discard a card. For

+

details on moving frigates, see the American Naval

+

Movement section.

+

When a card is discarded to build a gunboat in

+

Malta, the card is placed in the American discard

+

pile. The American player takes one gunboat from

+

the Supply and places it in the harbor of Malta.

+

The American player is limited to a maximum of

+

three gunboats.

+

The American player may pass ONLY if no cards

+

remain in hand—otherwise, a card must be played

+

either for an event or an action.

+

6

+
+
+

TRIPOLITAN PLAY

+

When a card is played as an event, its event text is

+

read and resolved. This card is considered the active

+

event card for the Tripolitan turn. Core event cards

+

and unique event cards are removed from the

+

game if played as an event.

+

When a card is discarded to Pirate Raid, the

+

card is placed in the Tripolitan discard pile. The

+

Tripolitan player raids with all corsairs from the

+

harbor of Tripoli. Frigates do not go on Pirate

+

Raids. The Tripolitan player may not discard a card

+

to raid from the harbor of one of its allies - only

+

specific Algerine, Moroccan or Tunisian cards

+

allow for Algiers, Morocco (Tangier), or Tunis

+

to Pirate Raid. For details on pirate raids, see the

+

Pirate Raid section.

+

When a card is discarded to build a corsair in

+

Tripoli, the card is placed in the Tripolitan discard

+

pile. The Tripolitan player takes one corsair from

+

the Supply and places it in the harbor of Tripoli.

+

The Tripolitan player may not build Algerine,

+

Moroccan or Tunisian corsairs in this manner. The

+

Tripolitan player is limited to a maximum of nine

+

corsairs.

+

The Tripolitan player may pass ONLY if no cards

+

remain in hand - otherwise, a card must be played

+

either for an event or an action.

+

END OF SEASON

+

If the seasonal marker is on the Spring, Summer,

+

or Fall space, advance the seasonal marker to the

+

next season. If the seasonal marker is already on

+

the Winter space, the year is over. If it is the end of

+

1806, the game ends in a draw. Otherwise, advance

+

to the next Year.

+

MOVEMENT

+

& COMBAT

+

AMERICAN NAVAL MOVEMENT

+

The board consists of fourteen locations—nine

+

harbors and five naval patrol zones—where the

+

American player may move frigates. Unless

+

moving to a location specified in the event

+

text, the American player may move from any

+

location(s) to any location(s).

+

If American frigates are moved to a friendly harbor

+

(Gibraltar, Malta and Alexandria), no further

+

action is needed. If American frigates are moved

+

to a naval patrol zone, no further action is needed.

+

American gunboats in Malta may never be moved

+

to another friendly harbor or a naval patrol zone.

+

If American frigates are moved to a harbor that

+

has enemy ships (Tripoli, or Algiers, Tangier, or

+

Tunis) then a naval battle commences. For details

+

on naval combat, see the Naval Combat section. If

+

the American active event card is Assault on Tripoli,

+

also see the Assault on Tripoli section.

+

If American frigates are moved to a harbor

+

that does not contain enemy ships but the city

+

does contain Tripolitan infantry (Derne and

+

Benghazi, and on very rare occasion Tripoli), a

+

naval bombardment commences. For details on

+

naval bombardment, see the Naval Bombardment

+

section.

+

If the American player is moving frigates to

+

bombard a Tripolitan city or engage a Tripolitan or

+

allied fleet in a harbor, any gunboats from Malta

+

may be also be moved (and not count against the

+

number of frigates being moved). If American

+

frigates are moving to multiple locations, the

+

gunboats may be allocated as the American player

+

wishes.

+

7

+
+
+

NAVAL COMBAT

+

Naval combat occurs when American ships move

+

into a harbor containing enemy ships. The two

+

exceptions are the harbor of Gibraltar (where

+

American frigates and Tripolitan corsairs coexist

+

peacefully under the watchful eye of the British)

+

or if the American active event card is A Show of

+

Force or Tribute Paid (where the text will direct the

+

removal of the Algerine, Moroccan or Tunisian

+

corsairs). American gunboats from Malta may join

+

the battle in a harbor.

+

Naval combat also occurs if the Tripolitan active

+

event card is Tripoli Attacks and there are American

+

frigates in the naval patrol zone of Tripoli. Any

+

Swedish frigates in the naval patrol zone of Tripoli

+

do not take part in the naval combat. Additionally,

+

naval combat occurs if the Tripolitan active event

+

card is Algiers/Morocco/Tunis Declares War and there

+

are American frigates in the corresponding harbor

+

when the three Algerine/Moroccan/Tunisian

+

corsairs are placed. In either of these cases, the

+

American player is not the active player and may

+

not move gunboats to take part in the naval battle.

+

1. Players announce if any battle cards will be

+

played. (Preble’s Boys Take Aim for the Americans

+

if the battle is in a harbor and The Guns of Tripoli

+

for the Tripolitans if the battle is in the harbor

+

of Tripoli, with the American player announcing

+

first.)

+

2. Each player rolls their dice. Each frigate rolls

+

two dice and each gunboat or corsair rolls one die.

+

The active player (whoever’s turn it is) rolls first and

+

counts the number of hits. Then the second player

+

rolls and counts the number of hits.

+

3. Players allocate hits to their own fleets, starting

+

with the active player.

+

Each roll of a 6 is a hit. Any other result is a miss.

+

A gunboat or corsair takes one hit to sink, so each

+

hit allocated sinks the gunboat or corsair. Sunk

+

gunboats and corsairs are returned to the Supply.

+

A frigate takes two hits to sink. If a frigate has one

+

hit allocated to it, it is considered “damaged” and

+

put on the following year of the Year Turn Track (if

+

it is 1806, then the frigate is returned to the Supply

+

and is not considered sunk). If a frigate has two hits

+

allocated to it, the frigate is sunk. Sunk Tripolitan

+

frigates are returned to the Supply, but sunk

+

American frigates are collected by the Tripolitan

+

player—and if it is the fourth American frigate

+

sunk the game ends immediately in a Tripolitan

+

victory.

+

4. All surviving American gunboats and

+

undamaged frigates are moved to Malta. If the

+

naval combat occurred in the naval patrol zone

+

of Tripoli, the surviving Tripolitan corsairs and

+

undamaged frigates return to the harbor of Tripoli.

+

NAVAL BOMBARDMENT

+

Naval bombardment occurs when American

+

ships move into a harbor containing no enemy

+

ships, but the city has Tripolitan infantry. This

+

primarily happens in the cities (harbors) of Derne

+

and Benghazi, but on rare occasions can occur in

+

Tripoli.

+

Naval bombardment lasts one round. Each frigate

+

rolls two dice and each gunboat rolls one die.

+

Each roll of a 6 is a hit. Any other result is a miss.

+

For each hit, a Tripolitan infantry is eliminated

+

and returned to the Supply. It is possible for a

+

bombardment to eliminate all of the infantry in a

+

city, but the city is still Tripolitan-controlled until

+

Hamet’s Army moves into the city.

+

After the bombardment, all of the American

+

frigates and gunboats are moved to Malta.

+

GROUND COMBAT

+

Ground (land) combat occurs when the American

+

8

+
+
+

player moves Hamet’s Army to Derne, Benghazi,

+

or Tripoli or if the American player plays Assault

+

on Tripoli and attacks Tripoli with only the three

+

Marine infantry from Send in the Marines. Unlike

+

naval combat, ground combat lasts until one

+

force has been eliminated.

+

1. The American player may bombard with any

+

frigates and gunboats that have joined the attack.

+

After the bombardment, the frigates and gunboats

+

are moved to Malta.

+

2. Players announce if any battle cards will

+

be played, starting with the American player

+

(Lieutenant O’Bannon Leads the Charge, Marine

+

Sharpshooters, and if the battle is in Tripoli, Send

+

in the Marines for the Americans and Mercenaries

+

Desert for the Tripolitans).

+

3. Players each roll dice, starting with the

+

American player. Each infantry unit rolls one die.

+

Each roll of a 6 is a hit. Any other result is a miss.

+

4. Players allocate hits to their troops. The

+

American player has the choice of removing an

+

Arab unit or a Marine unit with each hit suffered.

+

Eliminated units are removed to the Supply.

+

5. Check to see if one force has been eliminated.

+

If not, repeat steps 3 and 4. If the Tripolitan forces

+

in the city have been eliminated, the Americans

+

have captured the city. If the city captured is

+

Tripoli, then the American player immediately

+

wins the game. If the American forces in the

+

city have been eliminated, the Tripolitan player

+

immediately wins the game. If both forces are

+

eliminated on the same roll, it is considered a

+

Tripolitan victory.

+

ASSAULT ON TRIPOLI

+

The assault on Tripoli features unique naval

+

combat followed by ground combat. Unlike

+

normal naval combat, this naval combat is fought

+

until one fleet has been eliminated. At the end of

+

each round of combat, sunk American frigates are

+

taken by the Tripolitan player, and all other sunk

+

ships are removed to the Supply. Damaged frigates

+

are turned onto their side to indicate that they have

+

suffered one hit, but still continue to roll two dice

+

in combat. If a fourth American frigate is sunk

+

during combat, the Tripolitan player immediately

+

wins the game. If both fleets remain, naval combat

+

continues until one fleet has been eliminated.

+

If the American player wins the naval combat,

+

any damaged American frigates are removed to

+

the Supply. Any surviving American gunboats

+

and undamaged frigates may make a one-round

+

bombardment of the Tripolitan ground forces.

+

Then the American fleet is moved to Malta.

+

Ground combat then begins (and ground combat

+

cards may be played).

+

PIRATE RAIDS

+

A Pirate Raid occurs when the Tripolitan player

+

has discarded a card to raid with corsairs from the

+

harbor of Tripoli, has played a specific Algerine/

+

Moroccan/Tunisian Corsairs Raid to raid with

+

corsairs from Algiers/Tangier/Tunis, or has played

+

Yusuf Qaramanli to raid with the corsairs from

+

the harbor of Tripoli and from every allied harbor

+

that has Algerine/Moroccan/Tunisian corsairs.

+

If raiding from multiple harbors from the play of

+

Yusuf Qaramanli, the Tripolitan player determines

+

the order for resolving each raid.

+

1. If there are American and/or Swedish frigates

+

in the naval patrol zone outside the harbor of the

+

raiding corsairs, the American player makes an

+

Interception Roll. The American player announces

+

if a battle card will be played (Lieutenant Sterett

+

in Pursuit, which only benefits American but not

+

Swedish frigates). The American player rolls two

+

dice for each American frigate and each Swedish

+

frigate. Each roll of a 6 is a hit and a corsair is

+

sunk. Sunk corsairs are removed to the Supply.

+

9

+
+
+

2. The Tripolitan player announces if any battle

+

cards will be played (US Signal Books Overboard

+

and, if the raid is from Tripoli, Happy Hunting) and

+

then moves the surviving corsairs into the open

+

sea. Each corsair rolls one dice and captures a

+

merchant ship on a roll of a 5 or 6. The Tripolitan

+

player receives a Gold Coin for each merchant

+

ship captured. (Please note the merchant ships

+

are not represented by actual pieces on the board.)

+

The Tripolitan player may also play Merchant

+

Ship Converted if at least one merchant ship was

+

captured.

+

3. The corsairs return to their homeport (harbor).

+

The American player does not get to make an

+

Interception Roll on the corsairs’ return home.

+

If the Tripolitan active event card is Murad Reis

+

Breaks Out, there is no Pirate Raid after the

+

Interception Roll. The surviving corsairs move to

+

the harbor of Tripoli. Only the frigates in the naval

+

patrol zone of Gibraltar make an Interception Roll.

+

Any frigates in the naval patrol zone of Tripoli do

+

not also make an Interception Roll.

+

BASIC STRATEGY

+

As the American player, the early years of the

+

war can be very frustrating, particularly if you

+

draw a handful of ground combat cards. Your goal

+

in the early years is to try to limit the Tripolitan

+

player’s piracy and to build up your fleet. And if

+

you can bombard Derne a few times, the Marines

+

will thank you later. Keep in mind that Hamet’s

+

Army Created can be played in 1804 but needs an

+

American frigate in Alexandria, so try to slip one

+

over in late 1803. Although you will see all of your

+

discarded cards again after the reshuffle, try to

+

hang on to General Eaton Attacks Derne so it can

+

be played in 1804. You have some very powerful

+

cards—A Show of Force and Constantinople Demands

+

Tribute in particular, both of which can be retrieved

+

from the discard pile by the play of Bainbridge

+

Supplies Intel.

+

As the Tripolitan player, your priority is to get as

+

much gold as you can before the American fleet

+

overwhelms you. At some point in the game, you

+

will need to assess if you can realistically get to

+

twelve gold or not. If not, you may want to start

+

preparing the defense. In the last two years of

+

the game, be mindful of the requirements for the

+

American player to play The Treaty of Peace and

+

Amity. Also, keep in mind that the threat of some

+

of your cards may be more powerful than the actual

+

cards. The Guns of Tripoli can do some serious

+

damage to an American fleet attacking Tripoli,

+

but once that card is played the American player

+

has a lot more flexibility to take the attack to you.

+

And don’t sleep on US Signal Books Overboard—

+

that card can upset the perfectly laid plans of the

+

Americans.

+

OPTIONAL RULE &

+

TOURNAMENT PLAY

+

For advanced players, play with a hidden discard

+

pile. When a player plays a card for an event, show

+

the card and either remove it from play (core or

+

unique events) or place it face down in the discard

+

pile (common event). If a card is discarded to take

+

an action, get down to the eight-card hand limit, or

+

because of US Signal Books Overboard, it is always

+

done face down into the discard pile. Players may

+

not look through their own or their opponent’s

+

discard piles except for if the American active event

+

card is Bainbridge Supplies Intel.

+

Playing with a hidden discard pile significantly

+

increases the fog of war and makes for a more

+

strategic game. But be very careful to keep the draw

+

pile and the discard pile separate.

+

In tournament play, we recommend playing with

+

a hidden discard pile as well as the awarding of

+

points to help rank players with the same win/loss

+

record. The Tripolitan player receives three points

+

10

+
+
+

for each American frigate sunk and one point for

+

each Gold Coin. The American player receives

+

thirty points less the Tripolitan player’s score. It is

+

possible for the winning player to have fewer points

+

than the losing player. This is referred to as a “low-

+

point win.”

+

SOLITAIRE RULES

+

SOLITAIRE SETUP

+

In the solitaire version of The Shores of Tripoli, the

+

solo player takes on the role of the United States

+

and plays against the Tripolitan-bot (henceforth

+

referred to as the T-bot). The American setup is

+

exactly the same, although the player may wish to

+

sit on the south side of the map. The American

+

player places three American frigates in the harbor

+

of Gibraltar, a frigate on each of 1802, 1803, and

+

1804 spaces of the Year Turn Track. The American

+

player takes the three “core cards” and puts them

+

face up and then shuffles the remaining twenty-

+

four cards to create the draw pile.

+

The setup of the T-bot forces varies slightly from

+

the two-player game. The T-bot places two corsairs

+

in the harbor of Gibraltar and five corsairs in the

+

harbor of Tripoli. The T-bot places four infantry

+

in the city of Tripoli, four infantry in the city of

+

Benghazi, and four infantry in the city of Derne.

+

The T-bot sets up two rows of cards. The first row

+

of cards is the “event card line.” The T-bot sets out

+

the following cards in this order: Murad Reis Breaks

+

Out, Constantinople Sends Aid, Yusuf Qaramanli

+

and Sweden Pays Tribute. This is the end of the

+

event card line. The T-bot leaves a small space

+

and then sets out Five Corsair Check and Raid or

+

Build. The second row of cards is the “battle card

+

line.” The T-bot sets the six battle cards out in any

+

order, although the recommended order is: Happy

+

Hunting, Merchant Ship Converted, Uncharted

+

Waters, Mercenaries Desert, US Signal Books

+

Overboard and The Guns of Tripoli.

+

The T-bot takes the remaining eighteen cards

+

(including the Second Storms card) and shuffles to

+

create a draw pile.

+

SOLITAIRE PLAY

+

The American player draws cards and takes turns

+

as if playing a human opponent. The T-bot uses the

+

following decision making on its turn.

+

The T-bot checks each card sequentially in the

+

event card line to see if the requirements for the

+

card have been met. If the requirement has been

+

met, the T-bot plays that card for its turn. If the

+

requirement has not been met, the T-bot moves to

+

the next card. If none of the event cards from the

+

event card line can be played, the T-bot performs

+

the Five Corsair Check—if there are at least five

+

corsairs in the harbor of Tripoli, the T-bot pirate

+

raids without discarding a card. If the T-bot does

+

not have five or more corsairs in the harbor of

+

Tripoli, then the T-bot draws a card from the draw

+

pile and consults the card requirements.

+

The T-bot will never reshuffle the discard pile. If

+

the T-bot draw pile is finished and the T-bot needs

+

to draw a card, the T-bot will perform a Raid or

+

Build action without discarding a card.

+

T-BOT STRATEGY NOTES

+

In naval combat in 1801-1804 and in the Winter

+

of 1805 or if the American active event card is

+

Assault on Tripoli, the T-bot will allocate the first

+

hit suffered to its frigate (and the second hit on a

+

second frigate, if available). Then the T-bot will

+

allocate hits to its corsairs and only sink a frigate

+

when there is no other option available.

+

In 1805 or 1806 (except the Winter of 1805), the

+

T-bot will allocate hits to its corsairs first and only

+

take hits and then sink a frigate when there is no

+

other option available.

+
