You are a privateer seeking to make your fortune. The tyrannical Imperial Navy is threatening to invade and conquer your island home, robbing you and all the people of the islands of their freedom. The Empire has no mercy, and has swiftly branded you and the other privateers as pirates. It is up to you to gain renown by seeking adventure and facing numerous perils, becoming strong enough to rule these islands and repel the Imperial Navy from these waters. There are other privateers with the same goal as you, and while you all share a similar goal, only one of you can earn the most renown and become the Pirate King or Queen.
Song of the Seas is a pirate adventure sandbox game in which you must stake your claim over the islands by building your Lair and earning the most renown. Sink ships of the tyrannical Imperial Navy, plunder merchant vessels, explore for booty, and encounter legendary perils on the high seas. And don’t forget to choose the right shanty for your crew to sing each day for special boons!
Your goal in Song of the Seas is to earn the most Renown. The game end is triggered when one player reaches 20 Renown, in which that game round (“Day”) is then completed and final scores tallied. You also earn 1 Renown for every 100 Gold doubloons you have at the end of the game.
