Mechanics (from transcript analysis)
- adventure markers and relics — story-driven adventures place markers and relics on the board; relics offer power or direct scoring potential
- app-driven storytelling — an accompanying app directs story events, character interactions, and intertwines outcomes with board state
- crew and ship management — players recruit crew, upgrade ships, and manage cannonballs, dice, and crew slots to improve combat and movement
- Dice-based combat — combat uses distinct dice showing numbers, lover/nephew? nemesis symbols, and captain’s wheel; rolls are modified by crew and abilities
- lovers and nemeses drafting — each player drafts duo-sided lover/nemesis cards at game start, which shape abilities and rivalries throughout the game
- NPC factions and spawning — NPCs (Spanish Galleon, Merfolk, Undead) spawn and move with strategic goals, influencing board control and encounters
- open-world sandbox movement — players navigate an expansive sea board with multiple ports and locations; freedom to explore and choose actions
- port conquest and notoriety — capturing ports yields money and notoriety; the game tracks progress toward victory through points and relics

- Everyone's really upset with Grimlord Games cuz they never delivered their last Kickstarter, but another company has picked it up.
- I don't I still don't understand why companies can't put names on the sides of their boxes. Come on now.
