About this expansion

Neuroshima Hex! 3.0: Pirates is an expansion for the iconic area control game Neuroshima Hex, supporting 1–4 players with games lasting around 30 minutes.

A pirate flag now flies over the Caribbean islands, where King Contamination and Queen Neo-Jungle rule. The Pirates bring a sea-faring gang of outlaws to the world of Neuroshima, along with surprising new ways to challenge their enemies.

This army introduces Water Spaces, special areas added to the standard Battlefield that only the Pirates can access. Their large, high-quality battle tiles also let them influence the pace of the game, making timing especially important when planning around the headquarters location.

  • Play a pirate army with access to exclusive Water Spaces.
  • Use battle tiles to control the pace of the game.
  • Plan carefully around the headquarters location throughout the battle.
  • Account for low Initiative, a lack of Toughness, and limited Mobility among non-floating units.

The Pirates’ unusual access to the battlefield can create fresh tactical possibilities, but their weaknesses demand careful planning. Their low Initiative and lack of Toughness make them vulnerable, while non-floating units have negligible Mobility.

Neuroshima Hex! 3.0: Pirates cannot be used with the Expanded Battlefield rules. This restriction applies to five- and six-player games, as well as expanded four-player games.
