Lost Seas

Players take the role of sea captains charting an uncharted archipelago filled with hazards and rumors of monstrous creatures. Each turn, players plot routes, navigate treacherous waters and visit islands while managing ship movement and exploration resources. Map building is central: players reveal and add tiles or map markers to record newly explored areas, scoring for discoveries and completed routes. Encounters and environmental dangers alter plans and force tactical decisions about risk versus reward, with turn order and navigation tools influencing how far and safely a ship can venture.
