Merchants & Marauders: Seas of Glory

About this expansion

Merchants & Marauders: Seas of Glory is a 2015 expansion for 2–4 players, offering an approximately 180-minute journey through the Caribbean during the Golden Age of Piracy.

This hefty expansion returns you to a world where you can pursue the life of an influential merchant or become a dreaded pirate. Your captain may seek eternal glory and immense wealth, but the stormy Caribbean Sea always threatens to end the voyage in a watery grave.

Seas of Glory uses a modular structure to keep each adventure fresh. Its eleven new challenges can be mixed and matched, creating different combinations for your search for glory at sea. Rather than offering just one fixed experience, the expansion gives you multiple ways to reshape your games.

• Changing winds that affect the conditions at sea
• Smuggling as a new part of your maritime ambitions
• Crew satisfaction to consider during your captain’s journey
• Five variants for additional ways to play

These additions bring new mechanisms and decisions to Merchants & Marauders, while preserving its central choice between commerce and piracy. Will you build your reputation as a powerful merchant, or embrace the dangers and notoriety of a pirate?

With its mix-and-match challenges, new rules, and alternate variants, Merchants & Marauders: Seas of Glory is designed to ensure that the game will never be quite the same twice. Every captain’s fate depends on the choices made, the conditions encountered, and whether fortune leads to riches or the depths below.
