Chain

Note: The combo is a similar concept, often confused with chain.

A chain is a step-wise arrangement of pieces such that the breaking of the first step causes the next steps to break in succession. This is key for high scores in sailing, less important in bilging and navigation, and generally agreed upon as the most important part of swordfighting. Notices of more valuable chains have a larger font size than those for less valuable chains.

In most puzzles, there is a series of names for the different chains, as follows:

• 2x: Double
• 3x: Triple
• 4x: Bingo
• 5x: Donkey
• 6x: Vegas

Anything after 6x is still referred to as a Vegas by the game, although players have taken to calling them Double Vegases, Triple Vegases, and so forth.

In shipwrightery, chains are multiple patterns placed on the board without moving any pieces.
