Portal Games will release Angry Ocean, the first expansion for Ignacy Trzewiczek’s pirate-themed dice game Rattle, Battle, Grab the Loot (see “Impress the Pirate King in 'Rattle, Battle, Grab the Loot'.”) Release is planned for Gen Con.

The expansion introduces two new scenario packs as well as two custom dice with a character card for each. In the first scenario, the ocean itself fights the players, with krakens, rocks, wrecks and whirlpools. In the second “Old Dogs” scenario, players take the role of veteran pirates nearing retirement. The galleons are already fully equipped, and can’t be modified, because all they want is treasure.

The custom dice and character cards add non-player characters, which offer unique challenges, to the game. 

The expansion includes 30 cards, 2 dice and a rules sheet. MSRP was not announced. The game is for 2 – 5 players, 8 and up, and plays in 45 – 90 minutes. The expansion requires the base game to play.
