New Bedford: Rising Tide

This expansion adds components for a fifth player and increases the variety of ships, supplies, and buildings available to grow the coastal town. Players manage captains, outfit ships, and send them to sea while resolving entries from a Ship’s Log that introduce events and narrative elements. New supply cards, vessel types, and building options expand strategic choices, and added Omen cards introduce riskier, darker effects that can alter plans. The rules integrate with the base game to support larger player counts and greater variability in each session.
