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.

We're sad to say that our campaign is soon coming to an end, but there's still a chance for you to get on board if you haven't already. ⚓️
First the bad news(for us): Currency Inflation!
It seems like we're cursed with the Swedish currency losing a lot of value towards the Euro and US dollar lately. The effect of this is that almost all countries and currencies will end up with a discount in the area of 4-6 Euros per game in comparison to what we estimated when we launched the campaign.
Now for the good news: Stretch Goal Announcement!
Action Cards Tuck Box (with room for sleeves)4.000.000 SEK 🚀 (≈$360k or €370k)
As a way to try to make up for the ~ $25000 currency loss, we have decided to announce this last stretch goal. We will make a beautiful hand-drawn tuck box for the action cards to make it even more complete. Remember that even if you have already made your pledge, you can increase it by overshooting your original pledge amount with a “Bonus support”. All pirates are welcome to join in!
Backerkit 🖤
Shortly after the campaign ends, a survey will be sent out from Backerkit. You have to reply to that survey to receive your pledge.
The Backerkit Pledge Manager will open a couple of weeks after the campaign has ended and It will allow you to:
Upgrade your pledge and/or add more games to your pledge.
Choose what language you prefer for each game in your pledge.
Add your address, and be able to change it, until fulfillment starts.

We’re so grateful to all of you who have supported us on this journey. We want to keep going and going, and because of your support we can! We will send out STL files (after the campaign ends) to all backers, add one extra tile explanation in the box, and include Captain abilities in the game.
But we’re not done yet. Another stretch goal has been revealed. The next goal will give all backers 10% off shipping. We’re hoping to be able to offer even more than that, but for now, this is all we can say.
Shipping will be charged after the campaign ends in the pledge manager where you’ll also be able to choose language preference 🇬🇧🇫🇷🇪🇸🇮🇹🇩🇪, upgrade or add games to your pledge—you won’t have to pay double shipping if you add more games to your pledge in the pledge manager.
Thank you pirates and let’s keep reaching for our next goal on our journey!
