Pirate Borg review: "Eldritch horror hits the high seas"

Pirate Borg book on a sandy surface with keys, a skull, and a flintlock pistol nearby.

It's the Golden Age of Piracy in Pirate Borg, but it feels like the last days. That's the vibe in this genre-specific spin-off of hack'n'slash tabletop darling Mörk Borg, where players trawl a version of the Caribbean Sea that is haunted by a seemingly endless horde of undead.

Basically, there's no better tomorrow on the horizon. This is a dark and gritty world with little hope to speak of, and it's also unrelentingly brutal. Your character probably won't survive the voyage, for example. However, it's laden down with a galleon's worth of atmosphere and will do just the trick for fans who prefer the best tabletop RPGs to have a dash of old-school difficulty.
