Developed by Steamforged Games, the game is designed for two to four players and allows them to explore high seas voyages filled with danger and excitement. The goal of the game is to build a fearsome reputation and compete for the coveted Pirate Legend title.
The team at Steamforged describes Sea of Thieves: Voyage of Legends as an authentic tabletop experience that replicates and reimagines aspects of the video game. The game board, cards, and tokens are designed to feel at home on a tavern table in an outpost. The board game serves as a hub where players can track their progress and house the various cards needed to become a pirate legend.

The game includes seven game board titles, 24 standees, 10 dice, four rules reference cards, 18 special crew cards, 20 event cards, 52 fortunes cards, 52 voyage cards, 12 ship cards, eight enemy cards, and over 300 tokens.
Sherwin Matthews, the lead designer of the board game, expresses excitement about the opportunity to create the Sea of Thieves tabletop game. Matthews and the development team at Steamforged are fans of the video game and have thoroughly enjoyed adapting it for a tabletop experience. They aim to provide both existing fans and newcomers with a new way to enjoy the “be more pirate” life.
Sea of Thieves recently collaborated with Monkey Island, resulting in new and exciting episodes for players to explore. Matt, a writer for the game, describes his favorite moment from the collaboration.
