Corsairs of Valeria

About this board game

Corsairs of Valeria is a 20-minute dice-driven race for 2–5 players, released in 2020. With the Commodore lost at sea, rival Captains sail the Valerian Isles, competing to gather enough silver to fill six treasure chests and claim the title.

Each roll can shape your voyage. Coins earn silver, Grog gives you the power to re-roll dice, Cannons let you attack merchant ships or opponents to take their silver, and Maps move your ship forward. The right combination can push you closer to victory, while an unlucky roll may bring a curse.

• Coins: Gain silver for your treasure chests.
• Grog: Re-roll your dice.
• Cannons: Attack merchant ships or opponents and take their silver.
• Maps: Advance your ship.
• Curses: Lose a silver coin to Skull Island for each one rolled.

Your Captain card provides a special player power that can support your strategy when used to its best advantage. Meanwhile, every cursed die result adds another coin to the pool on Exekratys, more commonly known as Skull Island to true Corsairs.

The first player to reach Skull Island claims all the coins lost to cursed dice. If that haul does not complete a sixth treasure chest, the race resets and everyone keeps sailing. If no Captain completes their sixth treasure by the second arrival at Skull Island, the game ends; the Captain with the most Treasure and Silver wins. In Corsairs of Valeria, every voyage combines risky rolls, tactical attacks, and a race for the Commodore’s mantle.
