Hands in the Sea is a revised edition of a beloved 2-player deck-building wargame depicting the First Punic War. Fight for control over the islands of Sicily, Sardinia, and Corsica – and the fate of the Mediterranean – over the course of several turns, playing hands to launch naval & land battles, build your forces, and manage your empire. There are numerous paths to victory, ranging from having the highest score at the end of the game, to capturing the opposing player’s capital.

For over two decades, two great rising powers fought the largest naval war in the history of the ancient world, a bloody and terrifying conflict that saw hundreds of thousands of sailors and soldiers battle and die for supremacy in the Mediterranean. Will you fight for Rome and break Carthage’s iron hold on the seas, or will you take up arms for Carthage and put those pesky Romans in their place?
