The set includes a softcover copy of the Black Seas core rules along with nine plastic miniatures: three frigates and six brigs, all featuring detailed designs. It also contains sails, rigging, flag sheets, ship cards, wake markers, and necessary tokens for gameplay. Assembly and painting are part of the experience, though paint and glue are not provided. The game features a wind-based initiative system that reflects the dynamics of sail-powered combat. Rules cover line-of-battle formations, shore battery engagements, broadside attacks, and boarding actions, while also incorporating navigational hazards like fog banks, fire ships, and shipwrecks. Each ship comes with a card listing its speed, armament, and key attributes to inform tactical decisions during battles.

Why You'll Like It
Reviewers frequently highlight the set's immersive historical gameplay and the high quality of its detailed ship miniatures, noting that it offers a comprehensive starter experience with good potential for extended play.
