Set Sail with a Whole New Welcome .
Learn the ropes from Blackbeard himself. Brand-new interactive tutorial — no more boring slideshows. Play a real hand right on the table while Blackbeard walks you through every move, including how to spot a wild card and how to steal a card straight off your rival's table.
Watch your rivals think. Opponents no longer just teleport their way through a turn — watch Blackbeard draw, lay off, steal, and discard one move at a time, narrated live, so you always know exactly what just happened to you.
Your record, made right. Fixed a scoring bug where long-running rivalries could lose track of your hard-won victories.
