About the game
The Wharfside Casino License Cards are a fun and strategic promo/expansion for Fleet! This set of three (3) Wharfside Casino Premium License Cards can be used with Fleet as a substitute for the Fishermen's Pub. Once the Casino has been purchased, players may take one Crate from any Boat and place it on the Wharfside Casino. They then roll a die (the Fleet die if you have it!) and take the appropriate action: 1-3) Bust! Discard the gambled Crate of Fish from the game. 4) Win! +1 Crate of Fish. Keep the gambled Crate of Fish, and place one additional Crate of Fish from the Fish Crate supply onto the Casino license card. 5) Win! +2 Crate of Fish. Keep the gambled Crate of Fish, and place two additional Crates of Fish from the Fish Crate supply onto the Casino license card. 6/Fleet) Winner Winner Seafood Dinner! +3 Crate of Fish. Keep the gambled Crate of Fish, and place three additional Crates of Fish from the Fish Crate supply onto the Casino license card. The Wharfside Casino is fun way to add a new twist to Fleet!

Questions and answers
Fleet: Wharfside Casino supports 2–4 players according to the catalogue. This range comes from the publisher’s listed player count, so the game can be set up for any group size within it. Some setups, rules and scoring details may still vary by player count, so check your edition’s rulebook for the exact configuration.
The listed playing time for Fleet: Wharfside Casino is 30 minutes. This is the publisher’s estimate for a full game. The actual duration depends on the group, the player count and familiarity with the rules: first sessions usually run longer, while experienced groups often finish faster. Setup and teaching time are not included in this estimate.
The catalogue lists Fleet: Wharfside Casino for ages 10 and up. This is the publisher’s recommendation and reflects reading demands, rule complexity and small components rather than theme alone. Younger players can often join with help from an adult, so check the age guidance on your edition and consider your group’s experience with board games.
Fleet: Wharfside Casino has a complexity rating of 1.8 out of 5 from BoardGameGeek players, which makes it a light game. The rating reflects how much rules knowledge, planning and decision-making a typical game demands. Expect a longer first teach for heavier games, and use a preparation guide before game night.
Fleet: Wharfside Casino belongs to these categories: Card Game, Nautical, and Expansion for Base-game. Its main mechanics are Betting and Bluffing. Categories describe the theme and setting of a game, while mechanics describe what players actually do on their turns. Each mechanic links to a catalogue hub with similar games, which helps when you want something comparable.
The credited designers of Fleet: Wharfside Casino are: Ben Pinchback and Matt Riddle. These credits come from the published game data and name the people responsible for the game’s design, not its illustrators or publishers. Designer pages on MeepleRules collect other titles by the same designers, which helps when you enjoy a game and want to find similar ones.
The catalogue lists Fleet: Wharfside Casino as an expansion for Fleet. Expansions add new content, rules or scenarios to the base game and usually cannot be played on their own, so you need Fleet to use it. Check that your edition of Fleet is compatible, as some expansions were revised between editions.
