Quotes (from this video)
  • This plays two to four players in 20 to 80 minutes and it is a medium plus weight game.
  • 7th Sea is an expandable card game set in the swashbuckling world of the 7th Sea role-playing game.
  • Well, this expansion adds a lot of cards and a lot of content to the game 7th Sea.
  • This is just available through Stonemaier's website here in July, but will have a wider release in August to friendly local game stores.
  • It is a trick-taking card game, but a very thematic trick-taking card game where you are playing as a superhero, but each round you're kind of unlocking new abilities and discovering your own abilities, and those abilities will change how you win tricks, change how you play tricks, things like that.
  • So, kind of changes the crescendo of the game.
