FAQ
Official FAQ
- When you play this, you get +3 Cards and +1 Action, but at the start of your next turn, you have to discard 2 cards.
- If you have only one card left in hand you discard that one, and if you have no cards you don't discard any.
- When you have multiple Duration cards doing things at the start of your turn, you can put them in an order to your advantage; for example if you have four Tide Pools and a Wharf, you could discard all of your cards to the Tide Pools, then draw the Wharf cards.

Navigator is fine to play if nothing else is claiming your action play, if you can just put this in instead of a Silver and never notice that action cost. And if not then you don't touch it.
