The Pirate Queen: Night of Succession

A widowed woman takes over her husband's pirate fleet and becomes the most powerful pirate in history, commanding 70,000 men during the lead up to the Opium Wars.

Step into the shoes of Cheng I Sao and find yourself in the Captain's Cabin on the Night of Succession. Marvel at a vast array of artefacts – from grand treasures fit for a Qing court to the everyday objects of pirate life. 

With the help of your loyal second Cheung Po Tsai, find objects around the cabin that reveal your past and outwit those seeking to undermine your claim as Leader of the Fleet.
