"If gamers aren't familiar with set collection, they should throw a rock in a game store sometime. Chances are, unless they're in the Avalon Hill or miniatures section, they'll hit a game that has set collection as one of its mechanisms. However, it's a challenging mechanism to get just right. The Golden Sails is a game that has set its course straight on to the lands of set collection.

Don't worry too much about it, 4D. It's just the reviewer getting a bit cutesy in a failed attempt to make yet another of the many hundreds of card games about collecting sets of similar items sound interesting. If you're actually interested in knowing more about the game, I'd suggest The Dice Tower's video review: YouTube link I'm not sure why anyone would think it belongs here; the only thing even remotely nautical about it is the picture on the box.
