Galleys & Galleons (published by Ganesha Games, 2015) is a standalone tabletop wargame for naval engagements. The game uses a granulated version of the basic Song of... mechanic allowing players easily to control a handful of vessels without cluttering up the table with charts. The rules are written to easily accommodate multi-player games, permitting large fleet actions and encouraging treachery and skulduggery.
Galleys & Galleons has been written with the Age of Discovery (16th-18th centuries) in mind, but could be stretched to cover other eras of oar and sail with little trouble - example profiles for ancient war galleys are also included in the book. A special set of extra rules are included for players who'd prefer to sail off the edge of the map, allowing for sea monsters, mermaids and dragons (oh my!).
Fayre Winds & Foul Tides (published by Ganesha Games, 2016) is a fantastic expansion for Galleys & Galleons. Whether you have a panache for lacepulp, a fetish for High Fantasy, or just want to explore new historical periods, FWFT provides everything you need the bravely sail beyond the Seven Seas.
New special rules - FWFT introduces 51 new special rules to further customise your fleets, including traitorous captains, mutinous crews, indirect fire and ironclads.
New terrain - The seas just got more dangerous with a range of new terrain features including icebergs, volcanoes and assorted native islanders.
Advanced rules for flyers - Take the fight to the skies with advanced flying rules and new types of flyers, from da Vinci inspired ornithopters and lace-pulp airships, to dragons, gryphons and flying carpets.
Magic - The tides of magic cause additional waves on the tabletop with new rules for shipborne sorcerers and magical creatures. Seven schools of magic give a range of unique spells and other magical abilities with which to destroy your foes (and confound your friends).
