Quick answer

The Seas of Havoc Buried Treasure Upgrade adds 2 new captains, 2 new ships, and the deluxe components from the Captain's Deluxe edition. It is a content and component upgrade for existing players, not a standalone game.

What the upgrade includes

The Buried Treasure Upgrade expands your Seas of Havoc experience with 2 new captains and 2 new ships, giving you more strategic options on the high seas. It also brings the premium components from the Captain's Deluxe edition: metal coins and wooden treasure chests to hold your resources.

If you already own the base game and want a richer tactile experience without buying a whole new edition, this upgrade is designed for you.

Who should consider this upgrade

This upgrade is ideal for players who enjoy the base game but want more variety in captains and ships, or who appreciate premium components like metal coins and wooden chests. It adds meaningful gameplay depth and enhances the physical feel of the game.

However, if you are a casual player who rarely uses the existing components, or if you prefer to keep costs low, the base game may already provide enough content.

Decision rules for the Buried Treasure Upgrade

  • You want more captains and ships: If you have explored the base game's captains and ships and crave new abilities and strategies, the 2 new captains and 2 new ships offer fresh tactical options. This upgrade doubles your captain and ship choices.
  • You value premium components: If you enjoy the feel of metal coins and want a dedicated wooden chest for resource storage, the included deluxe components elevate your tabletop experience. You get the Captain's Deluxe components without buying the full deluxe edition.
  • You are on a budget: If you are satisfied with the base game's components and do not need extra captains or ships, the upgrade may not justify its cost. Stick with the base game.
