About this game
Begin a seafaring career aimed at restoring the family’s rank. Buy goods where they are inexpensive and sell them at another port, then use the proceeds to recruit captains and add ships. A larger fleet can carry more, but every voyage needs water and food. Wind and currents affect progress at sea. Discovering ports, investing or taking other actions can raise fame, leading to royal commissions and higher rank. Choosing a route means weighing its commercial promise against the preparation needed to bring the fleet home.
Collected in series
Uncharted Waters combines ocean voyages with trading, discovery and naval encounters in the Age of Exploration. Building a fleet and gathering information in port give each departure a purpose, whether you are chasing profit, a distant destination or an advantage over a rival.
