Ruthless, a 2-4 players deck-building game featuring pirates that you must hire to gather your crew and engage in murderous sea-fights, will receive an expansion, Tell Tales, introducing a solo mode. In this solo mode, you will face the so-called Pirate Queen Ching Shih, a famous historical figure of Far Eastern piracy.

The expansion also adds in fantastical elements such as the Kraken and the Merfolk, as featured on the box cover.

Actually the opportunity to advertise a bit this historical character was the main motive of my post!
I like deck-builders. The Wikipedia Link you supplied was interesting, Z. Thanks for adding that.
"Based on her influence and achievements as a pirate, which included commanding a vast fleet of around 1,500-1,800 ships crewed by 80,000 sailors during her peak, she is accepted by many as being the most successful pirate in history." Whoa!
