Claim The Royal Pearls! But Beware Their Burden…
Claim the most Royal Pearls to win the game! But be careful, every additional Pearl after the first brings negative effects. So when a captain pulls ahead, they do not get to coast…they get heavier, louder, and easier to hunt. The race stays sharp all the way to the last turn, because the closer you are to the crown, the harder the sea crashes into you.
Big Sandbox Decisions, Tight Tactical Turns.
Get the freedom and deep decisions of a sandbox adventure, but broken out into quick tactical turns. Plans stay deep, but play stays moving. You act, watch the waters shift, respond, and constantly stay involved. Pearl Docks is built for long adventurous sessions that keeps its bite without the attention drift.
Naval Tactics That Actually Feel Like Navigation
Pearl Docks models its gameplay and mechanics on real maritime movement and tactics. Wind matters. Facing matters. Position matters. On the hex map, the side of your ship determines how you fight in battle, which means movement, position and orientation are real tactical choices.

Asymmetric Factions Deep With Character and Dependent on Honor
The Kingdom of Thorim is an improbable world where the strange is normal and the factions are filled with character. Your choices shape the kind of captain you become. The honor system influences progression, so your path to power can be noble, ruthless, or a messy mix that still wins races.
Explore, Trade, Invade and Control The Archipelago
Explore a detailed, expansive, ever-shifting map filled with adventurous waters, valuable resources, and hidden treasures. Discover new routes, trade resources, take contracts, interact with islands, and decide when pirates and rivals need to be dealt with. Will you chase profit, position, or blood?
A Ruthless, Tactical Race for the Throne
The ruler of Thorim is dying, which means the Royal Pearls are up for grabs. The captains are ambitious. Can you gather the most Royal Pearls and survive the pressure that comes with carrying them? It'll take smart routes, sharp timing, and the nerve to pick the right moment to play honorable or play dirty.
