The life

Fight, then make it pay

Three loops. Board on the main deck. Send pirates out on a voyage. Keep the ship staffed so the haul has somewhere to go.

The crew

You hire pirates, not one hero. Six origins, from the Caribbean to the Baltic, and each favors a different stat. They fight on the deck and sail when you send a voyage.

Two pirate flags: a silver viper and a bloodied skull under crossed axes

Boarding

Live PvP on the main deck. Six weapon styles, a skill grid, and an Elo rating. The winner takes doubloons and trophy gear.

The voyage

Grapple a prize, strip a wreck, bombard a fort, or hunt a beast. Heirs train in the chart room, then work the galley, the hold, or the beast hold while you are out.

The ship

Each part of the ship has a specific role.

Keep your ship in top shape and she will reward you greatly.
