Lying Pirates is a first-to-finish dice game for 2-6 players. A thrilling race for the pirate throne which lasts 10-15 min/player.
The mechanics are inspired by the classic game of liar's dice. We've taken the best parts and combined them with some new twists and turns to give you an experience that is fast, entertaining, and easy to play with tiles, action cards, special dice, and more.
We created more than 200 hand-drawn components, all have a unique style that make every piece a delight to linger upon. All illustrations from tiles to coasters were crafted by Srdjan Vidakovic, an award-winning artist and designer from Serbia.
Thanks to interchangeable tiles, there are over a million different ways to create your own sea map. Once you've mastered the game, you can rebuild the sea and set sail again. Every game is unique and full of surprises.

Happy New Year to our treasured 'Lying Pirates' community! As we embark on a new year, we're overwhelmed with gratitude for your unwavering support and enthusiasm. Seeing you delve into the world of 'Lying Pirates' has been incredibly inspiring. Your adventures and stories have truly brought our game to life, making this past year an extraordinary journey for all of us. Thank you for being the heart of our dream and turning it into a thrilling reality.
Final Stretch: Your 'Lying Pirates' Copies on Their Way
We're thrilled to announce that most of our backers are already embarking on their 'Lying Pirates' adventures with their copies in hand. For those eagerly awaiting your games, rest assured, we are fully dedicated to getting them to you at the earliest. We deeply value your patience and understanding as we work through the final steps of delivery. Thank you for standing by us during this last leg of our journey to bring 'Lying Pirates' to all our supporters.
Don’t miss the official “How-to-play” video, FAQ and QR-code on the box! 📦
We've noticed some common questions and basic gameplay errors among our players. To ensure everyone enjoys and masters 'Lying Pirates' to its fullest, we strongly recommend watching our official 'How to Play' video and exploring our detailed FAQ. These resources are crafted to demystify gameplay and enrich your experience. Remember, our FAQ is an ever-expanding repository, continuously updated to address your evolving questions and scenarios.
A frequent query has been around the design of the 'O' of the Treasure Die. A common misconception is that it has been wrongly printed. To clarify, It' actually a uniquely hand-drawn 'O', not a '6' or '0', and this design is the same in every 'Lying Pirates' set. Remember, The Treasure Die is only meant for instances where it represents either 'X' or 'O'.
Additionally, we've created a convenient landing page accessible via the QR code on the back of game box. This page not only links to the 'How to Play' video and FAQ but will also be updated with new content, including STL files, to continuously support and expand your gameplay. Make sure to check it out for easy access to these valuable tools and future updates!
