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 know you’ve been waiting for this one. With all of your help, we smashed another goal. So let me present to you the Creature Pack.
New Captain Coaster: Meet Captain Aurora! This mystical queen from the depths of the sea has been turned half-human. She sails the high seas, looking for her next pray. Don’t let her beauty fool you—she’s a Siren with an appetite for revenge.
New Captain Coaster: Fang is a powerful captain from the east who collects beasts and creatures. She’s a master at taming them and wheeling them to her will.
New Tile: The Sea Serpent is a mythological creature resembling a reptile or dragon that inhabits the ocean and has tormented sailors and fishermen for ages. The Sea Serpent is known for its capability of destruction.
New Cards: Three additional cards will be included in the Creature Pack.

Hi Pirates!
We're so excited to share the news that we've closed our survey and can finally release two new languages! 🇩🇪🇫🇷
We know you've been waiting patiently while we collected your feedback, and we want to thank you for all of your support. The rule book and cards will now be available in English, German and French. You'll be able to choose what version you want in the pledge manager.
We can't wait to get these out to you so you can start playing with your friends and family but don't forget that this is only the beginning. Rumors say there might be more languages coming soon…
The Italian 🇮🇹 and Spanish-speaking 🇪🇸 regions are not forgotten, and we would love to see more people interested in your languages before we commit fully. We can reach this goal together if you spread the word to friends, family, and other distributors. Let's make it happen!
Next stretch goal: As a gift to all of the backers out there who have supported us throughout this campaign, the Ghost Pack will be included for free when we reach 2 million SEK. (The Ghost Pack will only be available in this print run, and will never be reprinted.)
Lastly, don't forget to post your questions in the chat for the Q&A tomorrow
CEST 19:00 / 17:00 UTC / 2PM EDT

2. A secret stretch goal, something to do with components!
3. A "Creature Pack" - Trust us, you want to unlock this pack, our artist Srdjan is already doing the work, so it's only up to you guys now to realize this stretch goal!
