At long last, new details have been unveiled for the upcoming first expansion to Ahoy! We now know this expansion will be entitled ‘New Horizons ’but, whereas its namesake in the world of Animal Crossing was light and fluffy, don’t expect the same vibes from this seafaring and smuggling game.
With new factions, treasure and monstrous sea creatures, the world of Ahoy is about to become a whole lot bigger!
So let’s briefly breakdown the new content:
New Military faction: Blackfish Brigade
Designed to be used instead of the base games Bluefin Squadron, this Killer Whale pod is fast moving and hard hitting. Using your Whale Song will deploy Patrols across the perilous ocean.
New Rebel faction: Shellfire Rebellion
An alternative to the base games Mollusk Union, these terrifying turtles specialise in long range gameplay. Build Launchers to fire your Comrades around the board.
Two new factions for use in 3 or 4 players: The Coral Cap Pirates and The Leviathan
If you’re familiar with the Ahoy base game then you’ll know that in 3 and 4 player games you have to bring out the Smugglers. Yet ‘New Horizons ’will shake things up by introducing 2 brand new options with which to switch out the Smugglers.
First off is the Coral Cap Pirates, an intimidating boatload of sailors who will be taking their Frigates out to sea on a hunt for fame and fortune. Then comes the big one… The Leviathan. A huge sea monster who stalks the seas devouring his opponents to gain strength and size, all the while avoiding those who would love nothing more than to take you down and make a name for themselves.
We can’t wait to try out this exciting new expansion when it hits tables in the near future.
