BEFORE THE FIRST ROLL
Know the format.
Qiravelo is an illustrated guide to the original Chartroom Derby concept. There is no replacement digital round or invented points calculator.
Reading a roundIs Chartroom Derby a browser game?
This concept is an illustrated tabletop guide, as in its original reference. It does not contain a playable digital simulation or an automated scoring system.
Can I buy the board shown here?
No physical set is offered for sale. The images depict a fictional harbour game and are used to explain its setting and components.
Do the new illustrations change the rules?
No. Anchor, Comet, Drift, the Scatter examples, exact Bonus Dock arrival and the Trophy Lamp tally keep their original roles.
Does the website record a tabletop result?
No. Count the marked pieces in view after the final boat arrives. This guide does not collect player names or maintain a table leaderboard.
