From BoardGameGeek
The dicey waters of the Six-Sided Seas have tempted many pirates with the promise of riches and glory. Legends tell of several powerful treasures lurking amongst the isles...powerful enough to control everyone and everything on these waters when combined together. There are many paths to becoming the most ruthless pirate in the sea, and the choice is in your hands. But be warned, you'll face rivals at sea who also wish to claim the title, so prepare for a cutthroat battle or go down with the ship! It's win or die on the Six-Sided Seas! Six Sided Seas is a push-your-luck, worker placement game. On your turn, you will roll dice from your supply to generate crew members for your ship that can be assigned to stations. After each roll, you can choose to roll again or stop. Be careful though, because if you go over your limit, you will bust! If you choose to stop rolling and didn't bust, you will then assign crew members to stations on the ship. The stations on the ship allow you to deal damage to the opposing pirate ship, explore islands, or search for gold. The first player to sink their opponent's ship, reach the maximum gold coin limit, or control the majority of the explorable islands wins!
