About the game

What you do in a play session

In the underworld forgotten by humans, an unlikely crew of rats, cockroaches, and other critters sails trash-made frigates in search of discarded treasures. In Sewer Pirats, you command a team of sewer pirates, using unique abilities to secure the best loot and positions on the ships. Each frigate has its special talisman — without it, don’t even think of boarding! With open drafting and set collection mechanics, the game blends strategy and light-hearted trickery as you compete to become legends among the sewer pirates. Three difficulty levels and detailed pirate miniatures ensure variety and charming visuals. Perfect for those who love unique themes and accessible mechanics with a tactical touch.
