Quick answer
The Tortuga 2199 Shipwreck Bay Expansion adds 2 hexigonal sector tiles, 10 Shipwreck Bay cards, 10 Shell cards, 10 System Failure cards, a ship miniature, and more. It requires the base game to play.
What the expansion adds to the base game
The Shipwreck Bay Expansion introduces new sector tiles and themed cards that change the tactical landscape of Tortuga 2199. System Failure cards add a fresh risk-reward layer, while the Stingray ship card and Booster card offer new ship capabilities. The expansion does not include a rulebook beyond what's on the cards, so you'll need the base game's rulebook for setup and turn structure.
Compatibility and requirements
This expansion is designed exclusively for Tortuga 2199 and does not work as a standalone game. All components integrate directly with the base game's existing sectors, cards, and tokens. The 8 Floating Mines tokens and 2 Sector Control tokens interact with the base game's movement and combat systems, so familiarity with the core rules is recommended.
