## Description
Sharpen your cutlasses and ready your dice, mateys! The Crimson Silver expansion for Tiny Epic Pirates has arrived to stir the already choppy waters. If you thought Tiny Epic Pirates was already great, this mini-expansion adds an extra kick with the mysterious Floating Fortresses. Just imagine: makeshift structures, built from wreckage and drifting about, hiding coveted treasure: Crimson Silver. This precious metal, legends say, has blood on the hands of those who seek it, and now you can go after it!

These fortresses aren't just for show. They offer souped-up versions of the classic Trade, Plunder, and Crew Up actions. Craving more adrenaline? You can attempt a siege for extra rewards. But beware, scallywags! These fortresses have a deal with the Royal Navy. If you show up with your pirate flag flying, the Navy will be hot on your tail. It's the price to pay for the most valuable silver on the seven seas. The expansion includes new components: Floating Fortress tokens, two solo pirate mats, shiny silver cubes, and upgraded crew cards. It's an addition that intensifies exploration and risk, perfect for those who have already mastered the base game and want more challenges and strategic options. The variable setup ensures each game remains fresh, and the solo mode lets you face these dangers alone.
