Quick answer
The Rolling Realms Promo: Libertalia adds 6 new realm cards inspired by Libertalia: Winds of Galecrest. To play, shuffle them into your Rolling Realms deck and use them during any game session. Each card introduces unique scoring and dice-placement rules that change how you approach each round.
What makes Libertalia different from other promo realms
Unlike many Rolling Realms promos that focus on a single mechanic, the Libertalia cards emphasize crew-based scoring and temporary alliances. Each card represents a different character from the Libertalia universe, and their abilities often reward you for placing dice on specific numbers or patterns that mirror the original board game's theme of shifting loyalties.
Because the promo pack only contains 6 cards, you'll want to shuffle them into your main deck rather than playing with them exclusively. This keeps the game balanced and ensures you see a variety of realm types across multiple plays.
How to play with the Libertalia promo cards
- Set up the deck: Shuffle the 6 Libertalia promo cards into your Rolling Realms realm deck. Do not remove any other cards unless you prefer a smaller deck for faster games. If you play with a smaller deck, the Libertalia cards will appear more often, which can skew the game's variety.
- Draw and place a realm card: At the start of each round, draw one realm card from the shuffled deck. Place it in the play area so all players can see the scoring and placement rules for that round. Some Libertalia cards have text that refers to 'crew' or 'allies'—these are just thematic names for the dice you place. No extra tokens are needed.
- Roll and assign dice: Roll the two dice as usual. Each player assigns one die to a space on the active realm card, following the card's placement rules. Libertalia cards often restrict where you can place based on die value or previous placements. Common mistake: forgetting that some Libertalia cards require you to place the higher die first. Always read the card's placement order carefully.
- Score the round: After all dice are placed, apply the scoring rules on the Libertalia card. Many of these cards reward you for having dice on matching numbers or for forming specific patterns. Write down each player's score for the round. If a card says 'score for each crew member,' it means each die you placed counts. Don't double-count dice that are part of a pattern bonus.
- Play the full game: Continue drawing new realm cards each round until the game ends (usually after 3 rounds per player, or as agreed). The player with the highest total score wins. The Libertalia cards add unpredictability—your strategy may need to adapt quickly from round to round. That's part of the fun.
