A Mysterious Benefactor
Play a Trait or Traits+ game during Valentine Voyages, and you may attract the attention of A Mysterious Benefactor! Steam post imageVoyages blessed by a mysterious benefactor will have one extra special secret. Every day when a job fails, the mysterious benefactor will send a secret note to a random pirate. That note will expose some information about the crew's traits! They might share a trait that nobody on the crew currently has, or, tell you the trait someone on the crew has.
With a mysterious benefactor sharing all the crew's darkest secrets, how can you bluff your way out of an unexpected surprise reveal?
Seasonal Trait: The Lovers
During Valentine Voyages, you may encounter one of the seasonal traits, The Lovers! Steam post imageThe Lovers always appear as a pair, with two randomly chosen pirates from the crew both having the trait 'The Lovers'. When either pirate with The Lovers trait goes overboard, the other pirate will become Heartbroken, automatically going overboard the following day after the job completes.
If a heartbroken pirate happens to go overboard before the end of the next day's job, they won't go overboard twice! Be warned - if a pirates goes overboard due to heartbreak and they're a human, one randomly selected other pirate will become a ghost. Now that's spooky!
Seasonal Trait: The Admirer
During Valentine Voyages, you may encounter one of the seasonal traits, The Admirer! Steam post imageDuring the first day, The Admirer must choose a target of their admiration from the crew. The Admirer's team will then immediately change to match the pirate they chose. Not only that, but every time The Admirer's target changes team, The Admirer's team will change too!
That means if the target of their admiration becomes a ghost... Well, you know what you have to do! The Admirer's team will no longer change through other means (if they're a human, they can't join the ghost team unless their target pirate is haunted), so watch out for any very tricky Admirer plays!

The “Cupid’s Arrow” Event!
Go on a sailing adventure during Valentine Voyages, and each day there is a chance you may encounter the “Cupid’s Arrow” event. A random member of the crew is given the opportunity to fire Cupid’s arrow at another. Whoever they fire it at will have their role changed to match the person who fired the arrow - whether they were human, or ghost! Keep track of the arrow, and see if you can deduce whose role is what as you forge ahead on your voyage. Steam post image
The "Love Letter" Event!
Go on a sailing adventure during Valentine Voyage, and each day there is a chance you may encounter the "Love Letter" event. A randomly chosen pirate must commit to sending a love letter to a pirate of their choice. What secrets will this letter reveal? The pirate may choose to either share their team, or their trait, with their lover. What information will they reveal, and more importantly, why did they choose to share that particular piece of information? Steam post image
Love Letter Bounties
What's this? The crew has received a mysterious letter, emblazoned with a heart motif? What could this mysterious love letter mean? It seems that there's a series of tasks for you to complete throughout Valentine Voyage's, and each one rewards you with... a special heart-shaped box!? What could be inside? Steam post image
Valentine Celebrations in the Photo Booth
To celebrate Valentine Voyages, there is a limited-time Foil available in the Photo Booth, in the Captain’s Log. Take the opportunity to snap your favourite pirate templates, and share any pics you take! Invite bots into your game during Valentine Voyages, and you may find some of the regular crew replaced with one or two super romantic guests, out to help you find love at sea! They’ll only join your games during Valentine Voyages, but these bots have their own personality and appearances for you to enjoy.
