## Description
Tides of Infamy is a pirate adventure full of danger and strategy. You command three ships in a quest for infamy, facing other pirates, sea monsters, and even the whims of luck. The goal? Collect Marks of Infamy by plundering settlements, smuggling goods, or exploring uncharted waters. But beware: storms, battles, and random events can turn the tide! Each game is unique thanks to the modular board and movement cards, which define routes and dangerous encounters.
