Misty Waters: At the World's Edge

Command a small sailing ship through an uncharted archipelago in an age-of-sail setting, navigating marked sea lanes and a dynamic weather panel that uses a Beaufort scale and two-day forecasts. On a turn players move their ships, engage in cannon or boarding combat, build or repair vessels, buy and sell goods at trading posts and taverns, hire crew and officers, and resolve island exploration cards that trigger encounters, treasures, or hazards. Players construct a limited Action Card deck of sails, weapons, maps and specialists to shape strategy. AI-controlled pirates, conquistadors, sea monsters and unique units populate the seas. Victory comes by election, conquest of islands, or securing a legendary treasure; modes include solo, cooperative, and team play.
