The Caribbean Sail News

Since Nintendo wouldn't take my game for the Switch, I've brought The Caribbean Sail to paper instead!

"Just a card deck?" I hear you mutter with a twinge of curiosity tainted by a drop of waning disappointment. Nay! Banish those doubts and behold the infomercial!

There we are. Now that I've got your attention, here's what you can find in the box!

Deluxe Deck - 90 cards in total. Major and Minor Arcana, Jokers, and bonus cards.
Minor Arcana - Coins, skulls, hearts, and swords.
Major Arcana - 22 unique poker size tarot cards labeled by roman numeral.
Bonuses - 2 game cards, 4 mysterious red aces, a tarot reference card, and more!

If that doesn't have you reaching for your wallet, how about a tarot cloth for divination... or just making it easier to pick up cards off of hard surfaces like your heart?


Made from the finest sail cloth I could sink my hooks into.

While supplies last, you can also get my name fancifully written on a card by yours truly!
Half were gone in the first hour so I doubt this illustrious privilege will last much longer.
It may even be worth something when I'm dead!

Now stop listening to my blathering and go plunder yourself a Deck of Sailors!

I couldn't bring the sea dragon to the game but at least he can live on in ink.

Thank you for enduring the written medium and supporting the physical medium.

Fair winds to you all lads!

After years of being restrained to only the darkest corners of taverns, those tarot cards are coming to the real world along with a full deck of playing cards styled in the black and white pixels of The Caribbean Sail!

You could read fortunes... or you could play a game of gin rummy, poker, bull***t, scopa, or The Hunt for Davy Jones! -and by Neptune, why stop there? Invent your own card games with the custom suits!

You've never seen a card deck like this and you likely never will again. These won't be none of your cabin boys flat sticky flimsy paper cards neither, nay, I'm having them printed on the air cushioned M32* linen stock that dreams are made from which cardistry experts and magicians would be proud to wield.

Get notified when the Kickstarter goes live here!


Talk like a pirate day 2017 was the initial release date of these piratey pixels and I never thought that I'd still be passionate about making new artwork or pushing content updates all this time later but you keep me motivated.

Thank you kindly for all your support over the years and bringing my dreams to life time and time again. Raise a drink to yourselves lads as we look forward to another year of Caribbean Sailing!

*M32 stock will be stretch goal dependent as minimum prints start at 1,000 decks.

A new ocean event in Fantasy and Purist mode has reared its algae bedraggled head to look in your direction like an obnoxious in-law at your Christmas dinner.

A gentle slimy hug from the ocean

When sailing the waters of the Atlantic, there is now a small chance to cross a Sargasso belt. These floaty green pools of seaweed, algae, and sargassum will slow your ship by 30% while offering a new fishing opportunity; EELS!



Ever ate an eel? Me neither but these ones won't give you electric feels.
Throw em to the crew and they'll slurp them down like spaghetti.

The achievements have been fixed.

This post will be dryer than your mouth after three days at sea without water.

Due to recent Windows 11 incompatibilities, I ran The Caribbean Sail through GameMaker 2 and exported it. This was a painfully difficult process that involved resolving over 48,000 errors.

[h3]Changes[/h3]
+ Version number is now 1.8
+ Exported with GM2

[h3][Notice][/h3]
If you were experiencing crashes on Windows 11 before and this resolved them, please let me know.
If you are experiencing any crashes now that you weren't before, please let me know also.
I will not sell defective products.

[h3]Regarding Mac[/h3]
The game was unfortunately never ported to Mac 64-bit and unfortunately I cannot afford a Mac at this time to export with and as Steam is fully discontinuing support for 32-bit Mac applications, I will not be supporting Mac users for now. If you would like to help potentially bring back Mac support then donations on my Ko-Fi will go towards licensing fees, developer fees, and development hardware: https://ko-fi.com/victorianclambake#
