What is Shifting Tides
Shifting Tides is a pirate vs navy strategy game where players command unique captains and ships. Pirates raid, disrupt, and chase gold, while the Navy fortifies, protects, and controls the seas.
The board physically rotates, constantly reshaping the battlefield, breaking plans, creating new threats, and forcing you to adapt every turn. You’re not just reacting to the chaos… you’re learning to harness the tides and use the shifting sea to your advantage.
Rolling and re-rolling dice, combining cards, and leveraging unique abilities, players outmaneuver their opponents and grow in power over the course of the game.
In the end, every decision builds toward one goal, forging your legacy, as you pursue multiple paths to victory and prove yourself as the most legendary captain on the sea.
