The metal coins alone justify the big box price. Quality is unreal.

Quick to Learn

How to Play

Don't like reading the rules? How-to-play video available.

01

Betting Phase

Bluff Your Crew

Roll your crew dice hidden under the bamboo cup, then bluff on totals. Raise the stakes, lock a number, or call someone a liar — at exactly the right moment.

02

Sail Phase

Move the Fleet

The round winner rolls the sail die and advances ships 1–2 tiles. Battle dice decide naval combat. Tile events keep every move unpredictable.

03

Action Phase

Play Your Hand

Deploy Gold or Silver cards to attack rivals, defend your position, or upgrade your crew. Every card changes the board.

⚓ How to Win

Claim the Pirate Throne

First ship to plant a flag on the X tile — the Pirate Throne — wins the seas and ends the game. Tied at the finish? The seas demand a duel: crews collide in a final last-man-standing battle. Dice fly, bluffs die, and only one captain rises from the deck to rule the throne.

Common Questions

Frequently Asked

How many players can play?
2–6 players. Scales smoothly from a duel between two captains to a packed crew of six. Big Box players can extend to 8 with the 8-Player accessory pack.
How long does a game take?
40–60 minutes for the base game. Add 15–30 minutes with the Cities of Greed expansion — longer fights, more alliances, more betrayal.
How is this different from Liar's Dice or Perudo?
Same bluff-and-call DNA, but with a racing mechanic: every round winner advances their ship across the map, fights naval battles with dice, and plays action cards. Add premium components (bamboo cups, magnetic tiles, metal coins in Big Box) and you get a game built to live on your shelf for years — not a quick filler.
Do I need the Cities of Greed expansion?
No — the base game is complete. Cities of Greed adds depth: the Mayor's Die, 2 new tiles, 35+ influence cards, alliance/betrayal mechanics. If you want more strategy, get the Big Box (it includes the expansion + every premium upgrade).
How quickly will my crew learn it?
10 minutes to teach the rules. A few rounds to find your bluffing tells. A lifetime to master reading the table.
Is it good for two players?
Yes. The bluffing intensifies head-to-head — fewer cups to read means every tell matters. The racing element keeps it tactical even at 2P.
What's actually in the Big Box that justifies the price?
Bamboo cups (not paper), dual-layered board, 27 magnetic crew tiles, metal coins, 50+ dice in a fabric bag, 8 captains with unique abilities, 83 action cards, the full Cities of Greed expansion, tuck box and card sleeves. Compare side-by-side in the What's in the Box table above.
Do you ship internationally?
Shipped to 69 countries so far. EU + US + UK shipping is standard. Rates and times calculated at checkout.
Is it kid-friendly?
12+ recommended, but kids 8–11 play fine with a parent on their crew. The bluffing element rewards reading faces, which kids often pick up faster than adults.
How replayable is it?
8 captains with unique abilities · 13 game variant cards · random tile draws · the bluffing reads change every group. Every session feels different.
Wholesale / retailer pricing?
Yes. Email lucas@nordicpirate.com for the sell sheet and B2B pricing.
