About this expansion

Tiny Epic Pirates: Curse of Amdiak is a pirate game for 1–4 players that plays in about 60 minutes. Set among islands haunted by rumors of dead pirates, it introduces a ghost ship helmed by the legendary pirate Amdiak.

Players seek cursed gold by stealing it from the ghost ship or attacking other pirates who possess it. The gold offers a dangerous path to an ancient relic said to hold Amdiak’s ashes. Trade cursed gold for the relic, then bury it to break the Curse of Amdiak.

  • Steal cursed gold from the ghost ship.
  • Attack pirates carrying cursed gold.
  • Trade gold for an ancient relic containing Amdiak’s ashes.
  • Use haunted map cards, ancient relics, and skeleton crew in play.

The ghost ship is a constant threat as players attempt to gather enough cursed gold to complete their objective. If it catches a captain, that captain becomes cursed and loses their cursed gold, turning a hard-won fortune into an immediate setback.

Being cursed also unlocks a sinister advantage: the ability to recruit a powerful skeleton crew that will mindlessly obey its wicked command. This creates a striking trade-off between avoiding the curse and embracing its supernatural power.

With its haunted map cards, ghostly ship, cursed treasure, and undead crew, Tiny Epic Pirates: Curse of Amdiak adds a dark supernatural conflict to the pirate adventure. Released in 2021, it challenges players to risk everything on the sea while seeking a way to end Amdiak’s curse.
