Lying Pirates | The Race for the Pirate Throne

Created by Nordic Pirate Games

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.

Reminder & Stretch Goals!
over 2 years ago – Fri, Sep 09, 2022 at 01:52:39 AM

Dear Pirates,  🏴‍☠️

Cpt Lucas here.

I just wanted to let you know what we’ve been up to these last few days. We’ve been focusing on stretch goals, and it’s been tough—our game is already of high quality, so no quality upgrades have been needed. Here is some of what you can expect from the Lying Pirates the Deluxe Edition. 


  • 300 gsm Black Core paper on the Action Cards, metallic foil stamped edges with linen finish.
  • 2mm cardboard Tiles with magnetic backs and linen finish.
  • Magnetic Game Board with linen finish - (2mm Double layered, 4mm in total)
  • Gold foil stamped and laminated Game Box.
  • 1,5mm Double layered Dice Board with linen finish (3mm in total)
  • 8 different varieties of custom designed dice 14-16 mm - Acrylic & Resin.
  • 100% real bamboo cups -  Barrel style & varnished finish.
  • Beautiful metal coins

The Deluxe version of the game comes in at a whopping 2,5 kg (5,5 lbs). We want you guys to feel like you are a Pirate in Tortuga, gambling with your booty! Quality to us enhances how immersive a game is and we know that we ourselves prefer to play Deluxe versions of different games—that’s how the creators intended for you to have the best experience. The same goes from us to you.


That takes us to our stretch goals—tomorrow we will reveal 3 new stretch goals! They won’t be about higher quality components 😉 To tease you I’ll let you know that our artist Srdjan is back at the drawing table and we've had successful meetings with our production partners.
