About this board game

Pirates on the High Seas is a two-player action game that takes about 30 minutes, combining navigation, working cannons, and treasure hunting on a gigantic cloth game mat.

Take to the high seas as courageous pirates fighting against one another. Hoist the sails, raise the anchors, and steer your ship across the seas with skill. The game challenges you to aim and shoot with flair while seeking valuable treasures to bring back to the harbor.

Who will steer most effectively? Who can fire accurately, score with style, and use a little luck to return with the most valuable haul? In Pirates on the High Seas, every voyage is a contest to show who is the real king of the sea.

  • A large 1m x 1.6m gameboard for your pirate voyages
  • Two detailed pirate ships, each with sails, a mast basket, pirate flag, lantern, steering wheel, figurehead, and rear trapdoor
  • Three cannons and three cannonballs, represented by arrows
  • Four treasure trunks, a tower with two doors, and a tower flag
  • A spinner dial, provision sacks, rum barrels, record cards, order cards, and gold coins featuring sea serpents and sharks

The components create a vivid pirate adventure centered on movement, cannon fire, and the race to return valuable treasure to harbor. With its large play surface and hands-on ship equipment, the game brings a distinctive nautical feel to a focused two-player session.
