Help complete construction by offering up the Ore of the Gods as tribute at a Temple of your choice to gain favor among the Sea Gods. Use your otherworldly support to increase your acts of piracy as the most infamous Pirate of the ages. Rise of the Gods adds the following: Acts of Piracy (Cards) Power of the Gods (Cards) Sea Monster (minifigure) More Map Tiles More Pirate Luck Cards More Pirate Ships - can play up to 6 players (or 8 players with Kickstarter Exclusive edition of Tides of Infamy) Acts of Piracy are tasks taken on by Pirates that upon successful completion yield Marks of Infamy.

The Sea Monster roams the board (using the same mechanic as the Ghost Ship in Tides of Infamy) engaging in battles.
