Feed the Kraken: Sea of Shadows is a modular expansion for Feed the Kraken that adds new twists, hazards, and uncertainty to the hidden-role voyage. Rather than replacing the core game, the expansion lets groups customise each session with optional modules, increasing replayability and unpredictability. Players still compete as Sailors, Pirates, and Cultists to control the ship’s course, but the added content introduces fresh opportunities for suspicion, manipulation, and sudden reversals. Designed especially for experienced crews, Sea of Shadows makes each game feel more dangerous, chaotic, and strategically varied while preserving the social deduction and mutiny-driven heart of the original.

Setup and teaching time are not included in this estimate.
