Watch “How to Play Sail,” a how-to-play guide for Sail from A Bored Gamer on BoardGameVideo.
Description provided by A Bored Gamer on YouTube:
Sail is a 2 player game for age 11 and up with an average gameplay length of 20 minutes per scenario published by Allplay games.
Sail is a follow suit trick taking game with multiple scenarios, where players will try to read their partners and play cards in an attempt to move the ship to the goal. Each round will have a lead player play a card and then the other player will follow with a matching Suit or color in this instance. If the player's symbols match a combo such as a pair of ship wheels they will move the ship one space forward toward the player that has won the trick identified by the high number. If there are no matching symbol combos the ship remains idle and the trick is still scored. Continue this way until a single player has won 4 tricks. Then the round ends. There are several ways to lose but only one way to win and that is by getting to the goal.

About Sail, from BoardGameGeek:
Strap up your piratical boots, and navigate your ship through turbulent waters in Sail, a co-operative trick-taking game for two players. Reach the end of this dangerous deep end, and avoid taking damage from the Kraken to win the game together...or your crew will be sleeping with the fish!
Before each round begins, players exchange cards, then play a series of tricks. Different game actions will be triggered depending on who wins each trick in combination with the unique character skills. However, the crashing sea water and the roaring Kraken make for a deafening situation, and players are unable to communicate about tactics and card information from the moment cards are dealt to the end of the action phase.
Players win the game as a team if they sail their ship into the final token before the Kraken reaches the Death tile or the Kraken deck is exhausted.
