Caribbean captains choose piracy or trade to amass glory and fortune before rivals.

Gameplay

A deeply thematic game, it's a sandbox adventure that rewards those who can stand the heavy rules. Players sail between ports, trade goods, chase rumors, and upgrade ships. Dice-driven naval combat and variable captain powers create swingy confrontations as players race to 10 hidden glory points.
