Development Notice: This game is in the early phases of development. Rules, factions, and balance are subject to change. Preview images are concept art only and are AI generated.

What Makes It Different

No dice, no grid. You physically move your ships, aim your cannons, and fire them yourself.

Free Movement

Ships roll on built-in wheels. No grid, no spaces, just push your ship across the table. Positioning is everything.

Cannons

3D-printed snap cannons that actually fire across the table. Get good at aiming and you'll win more fights.

Capture Islands

Plant your flag on islands to claim them. Captured islands generate treasure coins and can be used as gun emplacements.

Coin Economy

Spend treasure coins during your turn for an edge. Full sail for extra speed, repairs to stay afloat, or boarding actions to steal enemy ships.

Fully 3D Printable

Every component is 3D printable. Ships, cannons, islands, cannonballs. Print your own complete game for free.

2–20 Players

Works as a 1v1 duel or a massive free-for-all. Default mode plays 2–6, Group mode handles up to 20.

Changes After First Playtest

  • Swapped out inaccurate and difficult to use catapults for a pressure-based snap cannon design
  • Standardized on a smaller movement wheel and moved it to the rudder position, changing movement rules in the process
  • Reduced ship height (the movement wheel required oddly tall ships)

How to Play

Simple enough to pick up quickly, but there's a lot of room to get better.

1

Choose Your Faction

Pick a faction. Each one has different ships and abilities. Grab your fleet, a cannon, and some cannonballs.

2

Map the Seas

Place islands in the center of the table. Deploy your fleet along your chosen edge. Fill the coin bag and prepare for battle.

3

Take Command

On your turn, each ship takes ONE action: Move your ships, Fire your cannons, or Collect from a captured island.

4

Spend Your Plunder

Coins buy you options: Full Sail for extra speed, Repair Crew to patch up damage, or Boarding Party to take an enemy ship.

5

Claim Victory

Score points for surviving ships, captured islands, and hoarded coins. The highest score wins!

Victory Points

3 pts Each surviving ship
