Rolling Seas - No Box

Rolling Seas

Explore the islands and seas of the Alkundic Archipelago and tell tales of your voyages!

NOTE: This game does not have a box.

For the boxed version, see Rolling Seas.

The seas of the Alkundic Archipelago have long been known for their treacherous storms, exhilarating currents, hazardous rocky outcrops, and even a mild infestation of sea monsters. You and a ragtag crew have set out to explore the islands and seas they occupy. Along the way you will have adventures, stop at ports to resupply, get a better ship, and tell the tale of your voyages. The more you tell your story the more reputation you’ll earn. Will your crew have the greatest tale to tell and earn the most reputation? Sail the Rolling Seas and find out!

Updates! The second edition of Rolling Seas has some updates that make the game even easier to get into! New maps make setup a breeze and Smooth Sailing Adventure cards help new adventures come out at a more even pace. And now you can play with Pirates! An available tutorial will have you playing in no time. You can learn while you play.

Note that the video below is for the first edition, so there is no more island setup and direction dice no longer determine when new Adventures come out.

See below for a rules overview!

Overview: Rolling Seas begins with everyone initializing their maps – drawing known adventures and choosing a Home Port. Each round has three quick phases that everyone participates in simultaneously: Adventures, Dice, and Actions. In the Adventure Phase you'll draw an Adventure card, which could indicate Smooth Sailing or add a new Adventure to your maps, like Sea Monsters, Storms, Pirates, and more! The Dice Phase consists of rolling two types of dice to determine the wind direction and exploration events. In the Action Phase each player can choose to Sail, Explore, or Visit a Port. As you Sail and Explore you’ll add to your Story. When you Visit a Port you’ll get to tell your Story to gain Reputation. The player with the most Reputation at the end of 25 rounds is the winner!

Tip: Use colored pencils on your map and keep a record of your journey in your travel log for an even more immersive experience!
