There are a total of 42 coins in the game... 21 are marked with crosses and 21 of are marked with skulls...making 2 complete sets. Each set is comprised of 3 colors (7 red coins, 7 blue coins and 7 yellow coins) At the beginning of the game, each player takes all 21 coins of one set. (either crosses or skulls) Each player then secretly chooses one captain from their set of coins. After revealing your chosen captain to each other, you place the captain coin onto your board. The remaining coins of that color (there should 6 left) are placed into your Homeport Bag. The remaining 14 coins you have left are placed into your opponents Homeport Bag and their remaining 14 coins are then placed into your Homeport Bag. At this point, your Homeport bag should contain 14 of your opponents coins and 6 of your coins... the captain coin having already been placed onto the board. BTW... we ran into the same issue when we first opened the game as well. I know the rules can be a little confusing so let me try and break down the components to help form a clearer picture.

Does that mean you have all of one league and your opponent has two? How do you decide who the opponent is? I'm confused. Can you help?
