Traitor’s Tide

Traitor's Tide is a fast-paced hidden-role dice game of suspicion, sabotage, and swashbuckling bluffery for 3–6 players. Secret role cards split the crew into loyal Shipmates and treacherous Traitors — and nobody knows who's who until the final vote.

Each turn, roll five custom dice (up to two re-rolls) to defend the ship, collect treasure, or steal from crewmates. Waves damage the hull, pirate flags trigger attacks, swords provide defence, and coins mean loot — but whether that loot helps your team depends on which side you're secretly on. The game ends when the treasure chest empties or the ship is wrecked. Teams reveal their roles, compare gold totals, and the richest side wins.

What's good?

• Hidden roles create genuine tension without complex rules

• No player elimination — everyone stays in until the end
