About the game

What you do in a play session

Sea of Legends is a narrative-driven, open-world board game where you live as a pirate captain in the Caribbean. With semi-cooperative mechanics, you and up to four friends (or enemies disguised as friends) compete to become the most legendary pirate, but must collaborate on some adventures. The game uses a companion app to guide the narrative, creating shared stories that react to your choices. Raid ports, bury treasure, fall for intriguing characters, and face your arch-nemesis—all while rolling dice to decide your fate. Each game is unique, with multiple paths to victory and decisions that affect the world around you. The wind may be in your favor today, but tomorrow... well, tomorrow you might be swimming to the nearest shore. Solo mode is included for the lone wolves of the sea!

Frequently Asked Questions

Quick answers before you buy

7 questions
Is the app really required to play?
Yes, it's essential — the app narrates stories and controls game events. No phone? No sailing.
Does it work well with small groups (2-3 players)?
It works, but shines with 4-5. Fewer players = fewer betrayals, which are the spice of the game!
How long does a game last?
Between 1.5 to 2.5 hours, depending on player count and how many side stories you explore.
Is it hard to learn?
Medium weight (2.8/5 on BGG). The app helps a lot, but there are several mechanics to master at first.
Can you play solo?
Yes, and it's awesome! Solo mode keeps all the story excitement, minus the treasure-sharing.
Is an English translation needed?
The game is fully in English. Non-English speakers will need a fan or official translation.
Worth it for narrative game fans?
Absolutely! One of the best board game storytelling examples, like a pirate 'Choose Your Own Adventure'.
