ob cracks open the hefty box for Fortunes of Scoundrel Bay from Chilifox Games and walks through everything inside — from the double-sided game board and asymmetric player boards to the screen-printed ships, pirate figures, standees, dice, stickers, and more. If you’re curious what this 2025 release looks and feels like straight out of the shrink wrap, this unboxing has you covered.

In Fortunes of Scoundrel Bay, one to four players take on the roles of rival pirate captains sailing through a dangerous archipelago in search of gold and glory. Each turn you play a multi-use card to recruit crew, sail and fight monsters, or invade — but you can never repeat the same action twice in a row. You’ll compete for area majority over islands, race to claim monsters, and outwit opponents in blind bids, all while managing how fast you push through the five reefs that drive the game toward its end. Designed by Vegard Eliassen Stillerud and Eilif Svensson, the game plays in 75–120 minutes and features unique player powers and asymmetric boards to keep every captain’s voyage feeling different.
