About the game

What you do in a play session

Get ready for an open-sea maritime adventure with Voyages! This 'roll-and-write' game puts you in command of a ship, where every decision counts. All you need is a printed game sheet, a pencil, and three dice (provided by one player). Each round, three dice are rolled, and all players choose one die to set their sailing direction, another for the distance traveled, and the last for crew duties. The goal? Explore unknown islands, trade valuable goods, and train your sailors to face dangers like the mysterious Dread. The cool part is that Voyages can be played by a huge crowd, from 1 to 100+ people, either in person or virtually. And the fun doesn't stop there: the game is designed to receive free expansion content, keeping the adventure always fresh. It's perfect for those who enjoy quick games with a touch of luck and plenty of strategy to manage resources and routes. If you like open-sea challenges and want an experience that scales to any group size, Voyages is the right choice!
