We played this on Hope's Hearth with the author (hello August I love you) and made a very good and gay story on a space station. Sometimes the ocean is space!
10/10, please play my friend's game
This game is such a joy! Full of seafaring delight!
Great game! The factions are all really cool, there's some exclusive mini games that really land well to pirate fiction, the cover art is gorgeous 10/10
