Ahoy: Treasure Pack is an expansion for Ahoy released in 2025 for 2–4 players, 45–75 minutes per game, and ages 14 and up. It was designed by Nick Brachmann and its main mechanics are Variable Player Powers, Area Majority / Influence, and Tile Placement.
This micro-expansion contains a trove of 13 cards that will surprise even the saltiest sea dog. They can be easily folded into any games of Ahoy, whether you're playing with the base faction or expansion content. At the start of the game, players are given two cards and asked to pick one. Choose wisely though, as they can radically transform your plans! (Some of it may be cursed. Don't say we didn't warn you.)
Ahoy: Treasure Pack supports 2–4 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 Ahoy: Treasure Pack is 45–75 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 Ahoy: Treasure Pack for ages 14 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.

The catalogue lists Ahoy: Treasure Pack as an expansion for Ahoy. Expansions add new content, rules or scenarios to the base game and usually cannot be played on their own, so you need Ahoy to use it. Check that your edition of Ahoy is compatible, as some expansions were revised between editions.
