You have learned the location of a great treasure, the lost hoard of legendary Captain Lolligo, who traveled the coasts long ago, violently pillaging countless towns before disappearing. The only problem: it is inside a giant whirlpool crawling with pirates.

hi there

Just wondering if any more community copies will be available?

Kind regards

I just got my physical copy of the game today.  Everything about it is absolutely amazing.  The art, the layout, being able to create a pirate even quicker than in Pirate Borg... so many reasons to love this.  I was totally blown away.

Wow! Thank you for the kind words. I’m glad you like it
