Mad Boarding

Raise the sails. Race your crew home. Mad Boarding is a turn-based pirate board game for 2–4 players. On a 15×15 sea you lead a clan from port to inlet: roll two dice each turn, choose which tokens spend them, and decide when to strike—or when to wait. Land on a rival and send them overboard. Ports are safe. Open water is not. Storms and sea events rewrite the board mid-match. Four asymmetric clans change how every race feels. How a match plays - Win — Be first to bring all of your tokens home. - Decide every roll — Two dice, your tokens, your order. Speed, safety, and capture pressure compete every turn. - Capture — Step on an enemy token and return it to port. Block routes. Force bad choices. - The Six — A six opens special plays: leave port, ransom a captured token, or push a bold line. Combos decide races. - Sea events — Fog, storms, and worse hit mid-game. Adapt the plan—or sink with it. Four clans, four ways to win - Icy Varangians — Defence. Survive a hit that would send others home, then raise a shield rivals cannot pass. - Tide Shadows — Speed. Extra steps on the move and a slip across the sea to reappear elsewhere. - Sand Sharks — Aggression. Bonus forward speed and a sandstorm that knocks nearby rivals off course. - Fangs of Dusk — Control. Scout rival ports and lay traps that throw intruders back. Each clan has a passive ability and one powerful active once per match. Pick a captain that matches your plan—not just your colour. Play how you want - Solo vs bots — Learn the rules, test clans, chase win rate. Four AI personalities, from forgiving to ruthless. - Online multiplayer — Host a Steam lobby and invite friends. 2–4 human players; empty seats can be filled by bots.
