ByDaniel Kling Lorentsen

Mighty Paladin Games is charting a course towards the release of their new pirate-themed strategy game, “Rogue Seas,” set to debut on Kickstarter on June 18th.

The game, designed with a pirate theme, combines elements of strategy, crew building, and treasure hunting. Players are invited to assume the roles of legendary pirate captains, each equipped with unique abilities that influence their strategic choices throughout the game.

The backstory of “Rogue Seas” centers around the lost riches of the San Miguel, a Spanish ship that disappeared centuries ago while laden with precious cargo. This legend has drawn pirate captains from across the Seven Seas to search for the treasure, setting the stage for the game’s competitive and adventurous gameplay.

Players will need to assemble a crew and enhance their ships at port to prepare for the various challenges ahead. They can engage in combat with merchant ships to acquire Loot Cards, which provide resources like Gold and Notoriety, or confront other captains to seize their treasures. Additionally, the game includes the option to battle legendary sea monsters in pursuit of Treasure Maps.

The main objective of “Rogue Seas” is to collect five Treasure Maps that lead to the central Treasure Island. The first player to achieve this goal will earn the title of Pirate King of the Seven Seas.
