About the game

What is Tricky Tides?

Hoist your sails and mind those tricky tides! Take command of a merchant ship and manage your hand of navigation cards and the goods in your ship’s cargo hold while charting the best course on the map. Travel from island to island collecting goods and delivering them to earn the most gold. Tricky Tides is a pick-up-and-deliver game that uniquely employs trick taking to determine turn order and the direction players can move their ships. —description from the publisher
