Humanity has been driven to piracy to secure a brighter future and it's up to you to guide your faction to victory! Procedurally generated maps by placing tiles using specific actions ensure a diverse and different seafaring and treacherous landscape each time you play. How will you navigate in order to brave the perils of Ion Core’s world? Plan your course well or enemy factions will take all the glory! Enjoy an adventure with minimal luck factor – actions like Scavenge or Plunder can be enhanced using a deck or upgrades to allow players to either enhance or mitigate chances, shifting the outcome to your favor. Pillage or visit cities to upgrade your ship, gather spoils and forgotten relics, hunt dangerous beasts, enlist new crewmembers or entertain them to increase their morale, trade your way to riches or plunder your way to victory! With a variety of ways to play and different aspects to focus on, there is never a dull moment - reading through your opponent’s intent is just as important as planning your own. No matter how you choose to advance, make sure to set your sights on controlling the energy source of this cruel world, and gather the most renown at the end! The choice is yours! Beautifully hand-drawn artwork and components will suck you into Ion Core’s world and its unparalleled aesthetic! Each character comes to life through backstory and art to immerse players and make bonds, not just progress. But beware, you are not alone in sailing the seas... Enemy ships and a mysterious, relentless adversary haunt your every move so plan well, take risks and brave your way to total control!
