Ahoy: Rivals & Renegades

Deepen your control of the high seas with Ahoy: Rivals & Renegades, an expansive addition to the acclaimed game of nautical asymmetric strategy. This box introduces two formidable new factions to the ocean: the Blackfish Brigade and the Shellfire Rebellion. Whether you are looking to subvert the existing order or enforce your will through sheer force, these new groups provide innovative ways to navigate, fight, and claim treasure across the modular map tiles of the core game.

The Blackfish Brigade features a pod of fierce orcas who roam the waters with predatory efficiency. Their mechanics focus on mobility and menace, allowing you to strike where your opponents are most vulnerable. Contrasting this aggressive style is the Shellfire Rebellion, a group of tenacious turtles who have turned to unconventional warfare. By utilising massive catapults, they can launch their comrades across vast distances, bypassing blockades and surprising rivals who thought they were safe in distant waters. Each faction comes with its own unique wooden pieces and tailored player boards to maintain the high production standards of the series.

Beyond the new factions, Rivals & Renegades offers exciting new ways to organise your play sessions. You can choose to use these new groups in place of the Bluefin Squadron and Mollusk Union from the core game for a fresh asymmetric experience, or combine all four major factions for a thrilling two-versus-two team mode. This added flexibility significantly increases the replayability of your nautical adventures, making every voyage a unique test of tactical synergy and strategic planning. Prepare your crew and decide your allegiance as the battle for the blue waters enters its most chaotic chapter yet.
