What happens in the case, which happened in our game last night, when you turn over a tile, a boat is supposed to appear there, and there are no boats in the supply? I'm not sure if this is possible in a 4-player game but it happened in our six-player game (using the six-player expansion) when there were NO spare boats to start with. We weren't sure whether:(A) You just don't get a boat in this case,
(B) You get to take an empty boat from anywhere else, or
(C) Use some random object to act as an additional boat (similar to what happens in chess when you queen a pawn and you still have your original queen).
Is there an official ruling for this? We opted for (A), because (B) would have disadvanaged another player by removing a useful boat for that player.
