Sea of Thieves Voyage of Legends Review

Sea of Thieves is one of my favorite video games, and the board game version is an impressively close adaptation to its digital sibling. Fans of the video game will find many mechanisms familiar, at least in spirit.

The problem is, there is a fatal flaw in its design that greatly impairs its ability to emulate the video game. However, it's important to note that this flaw also impacts its ability to be an enjoyable board game, and that would be true even if it wasn't an adaptation of Sea of Thieves.
