Battlemist: The Sails of War

About this expansion

Battlemist: The Sails of War is a 1999 expansion for 2–6 players that adds a large sea map, ships, and new ways to play to Battlemist, with games lasting about 240 minutes.

Designed as the first expansion for Battlemist, it extends the game beyond its existing content with a dedicated sea area and numerous ship counters. New record and reference sheets support these additional elements during play.

The expansion introduces several new systems and themes:

• Seafaring across a new sea map
• Trade and initiative elements
• New twists for the Hero and Quest parts of the game
• A new victory condition focused on finding and controlling the Mystical Lands

These additions give Battlemist: The Sails of War a broader setting by bringing sea travel and ships into the game. The new victory condition also adds a distinct objective: players must seek out the Mystical Lands and establish control of them.

With its large sea map, ship counters, and supporting reference material, the expansion provides a substantial addition to the Battlemist experience. It is designed for groups of 2 to 6 players and retains the game’s long 240-minute play time.
