About the game

What you do in a play session

Get ready for a spine-chilling pirate adventure with Tiny Epic Pirates: Curse of Amdiak! Rumors are spreading across the islands not just of storms, but of something far more sinister: dead pirates returning to life, sailing an ominous ghost ship helmed by the legendary Amdiak. This expansion brings a flood of new elements to your base game, including the dreaded cursed gold, which you'll want to steal from the ghost ship and even from unsuspecting fellow pirates. But beware, because the ghost ship itself will be hot on your heels, and if it catches you, your captain might end up cursed and you'll lose all your hard-earned gold. But it's not all doom and gloom! A cursed captain can recruit a skeleton crew to mindlessly obey their wicked commands, adding a very interesting tactical layer. Your goal is to collect this cursed gold to trade it for ancient relics that, legend has it, hold Amdiak's ashes. Bury these relics and break the curse once and for all! The game also introduces haunted map cards and more elements that will transform your high-seas voyages into an unforgettable experience full of supernatural dangers. It's time to prove you're the bravest (or craziest) pirate on the seven seas!
