The FroGames Sheet
Goblins jump on deck, some rush to plug leaks, others fish for barrels. The app screams orders. And you have to decide: save your companion or save the ship?
WHAT IT'S ABOUT
Green hordes boarding your ship
Legends of the Seas is Arkada Studio's hybrid pirate cooperative game, mixing narrative app with frantic management of a vessel under siege. Each mission lasts between 30 and 45 minutes and is designed for replayability. This expansion, Goblin's Raid, is an exclusive add-on produced in limited quantities and will never be available in stores.
The expansion introduces a new playable character and a dedicated gameplay system: hordes of goblins board the ship, orange Raid dice dictate the assaults, and 15 new Treasure cards enrich the loot. The game revolves around barrels, the main resource, and cooperative actions to keep the ship afloat while goblins devastate the holds.

Legends of the Seas: Goblin's Raid Expansion
The base game supports official solo play, and this expansion adds complexity with the goblins. The experience is complete but loses the chaos of vocal coordination that characterizes multiplayer.
FrogScore · FroGames editorial rating · first reading: based on rules and official presentation, updated with first playsWhat's in the box
Components of the goblin invasion
Playable Character (6.5 cm miniature)
A new crew with unique abilities and their personalized Shipmate Card. You join others to repel the assault, with powers that change how barrels are managed.
2 Orange Raid dice
They dictate the goblin assault. Each roll decides how many enemies board and where they strike. Timing is everything.
6 Goblin Pirate Standees
The green hordes that infest the deck. Standees with plastic bases, they move on the ship and must be repelled before they devastate resources.
15 exclusive Treasure cards
New loot that enriches the base game. Some offer tactical advantages, others complicate decisions: treasures that weigh heavily when the ship is sinking.
🎲How to playThe rules in four steps▼
How to play
The flow of each round
A round of Goblin's Raid is a cycle of coordinated actions, Raid dice rolls, and chain reactions. Fast, with no downtime.
In turn, each player uses barrels to perform actions: moving, repairing, fighting goblins, drawing treasures. Character abilities modify the available options.
The orange dice determine how many goblins board and where. Some results trigger special events from the app. The group must react immediately.
Leaks, multiple assaults, scarce barrels. The group decides who sacrifices what. Treasure cards can offer solutions but come at a cost.
The app updates objectives and narration. The mission only proceeds if the ship holds up. Goblins don't wait: either you stop them or they overwhelm you.
⏱️Your first gameThe chronicle, moment by moment▼
A game in five moments
What happens at the table
Not the rules. The experience.
Setup and first sighting
Choose a new character or one from the base game. The app starts, someone reads the mission aloud. Then the first orange Raid dice roll: goblins are already on deck. You breathe, organize the barrels, and realize this time it will be different.
The first real boarding
Goblins multiply. One standee ends up in the hold, another blocks the deck. Someone shouts to plug the leak, someone else says to save the barrels. No one has enough actions to do everything. The first painful decision.
Coordination under pressure
Mid-game, the ship holds but the Treasure cards you've drawn tempt you: one gives you an extra action, the other saves a companion but costs barrels. The app announces an event, the Raid dice roll again. Someone curses. The others laugh. Everyone talks over everyone else.
The legendary turn
A player sacrifices their turn to save the crew. Another combines abilities and treasure in a way you hadn't seen before. The goblins are repelled all at once. For a moment it seems you'll make it. This is the moment you'll talk about later.
Victory or shipwreck
The objective is within reach. The app makes its final move. You win together or sink together, there's no in-between. You put the components back in the box talking about what you could have done. And you're already thinking about the next mission.

What to know beforehand
Three things you need to know before buying
Mandatory app
Legends of the Seas requires the companion app to function. <cite index="24-11,24-15,24-16">The application manages narration, actor-voiced dialogue, and game events</cite>. Without the app, you can't play. Make sure you have a charged and compatible tablet or smartphone.
Expansion, not a base game
<cite index="1-1">This is an exclusive expansion produced in limited quantities, not available in retail</cite>. The Legends of the Seas base game is required to use it. It is not standalone: goblins are added to existing mechanics, they do not replace them.
Product coming soon, limited feedback
It's a recent expansion, funded on Gamefound and not yet widely distributed. Independent reviews are scarce. If you're the type to wait for community consensus, consider waiting a few months for initial feedback.
🏆Victory and defeatWhat the ending rewards▼
How it ends
How to win and how to lose
Each mission has specific objectives dictated by the app. But the defeat condition is always the same.
Victory
- Complete the mission objective before the ship sinks
- Keep enough crew alive to complete the final actions
- Manage barrels to have resources for the final sprint
Defeat
- The ship takes too much damage and sinks
- Goblins overwhelm the crew and no one can act anymore
- Run out of barrels without being able to complete the objective
Goblin's Raid amplifies the chaos of an already frantic cooperative game. If you're looking for an expansion that complicates without burdening, this promises memorable assaults and painful choices.

Frequently asked questions
FAQ about Legends of the Seas: Goblin's Raid Expansion
Is the base game required to play?
Yes, absolutely. Goblin's Raid is an expansion that adds content to Legends of the Seas. It is not standalone: the base game with all its components (ship, app, barrels, rules) is required. The expansion only introduces the new character, goblins, and Raid mechanics.
Does the app work offline?
Legends of the Seas requires the companion app for narration and events. Check the Arkada Studio website or the Gamefound page for technical requirements and offline availability. Typically, hybrid apps require at least an initial download.
What mechanics does Legends of the Seas: Goblin's Raid Expansion use?
The base game uses cooperative action selection, real-time elements (if activated), resource management (barrels), and app-driven narrative. The expansion adds dice rolling with Raid dice and swarm mechanics for the goblin standees.
Is it harder than the base game?
Yes, the goblins increase the difficulty curve. The assaults force more painful choices and the Raid dice introduce unpredictability. If the base game seemed too easy, this expansion is designed for you. Otherwise, play it after getting familiar with the standard missions.
Is it available in Italian?
This edition is in English. The Legends of the Seas app supports multiple languages (check the official page to see if Italian is included), but the physical components of the expansion (Treasure cards, Shipmate Card, rulebook) are in English.
