Amass these coins during gameplay to unleash powerful abilities from your heroes. This game can be played standalone or as an expansion to Rum & Bones. In Rum & Bones: Second Tide, players choose between two deadly pirate crews: the mysterious Deep Lords who want to flood the world with the treasure, or the ruthless Marea de la Muerte, Spanish cutthroats greedy for gold. Heroes are from five classes: Captains buff other heroes, Brutes are tough and get stronger from taking damage, Gunners are ranged damage dealers, Swashbucklers deal damage up - close, and Quartermasters offer utility like healing and buffing. The game features a new 'dynamic Leveling System'. Heroes start with a basic attack skill card and can use coins from defeating enemies and achieving objectives to buy new skills and level up existing ones. There's also a new 'Alternating Activation' play method where players take turns activating a hero or their crew.
