A chill fog drifts across the sea. The crew whispers of curses and dark magic. It can’t possibly be true…but the strange sights you pass give you little comfort against the creeping dread. Add haunting new marvels to discover, as well as a new ship (with new journey effects), with this 6-card expansion. Swap out marvels from the base game with new, cursed legends or add them in directly for an epic journey! Cursed Seas 6-card expansion adds two optional components: a new ship with unique journey effects, and five marvels featuring distinctive costs and placement restrictions. Each can be used on its own with the base game or combined for greater variety. The expansion also includes a new Epic Mode, offering a longer journey and tougher scoring targets to conquer.
Adventurous: Cursed Seas supports 1–4 players according to the catalogue. This range comes from the publisher’s listed player count, so the game can be set up for any group size within it. Some setups, rules and scoring details may still vary by player count, so check your edition’s rulebook for the exact configuration.
The listed playing time for Adventurous: Cursed Seas is 15 minutes. This is the publisher’s estimate for a full game. The actual duration depends on the group, the player count and familiarity with the rules: first sessions usually run longer, while experienced groups often finish faster. Setup and teaching time are not included in this estimate.
The catalogue lists Adventurous: Cursed Seas for ages 8 and up. This is the publisher’s recommendation and reflects reading demands, rule complexity and small components rather than theme alone. Younger players can often join with help from an adult, so check the age guidance on your edition and consider your group’s experience with board games.
