The factions in Terra Mystica have opened their doors to trade beyond the trading post in Terra Mystica: Merchants of the Seas. With new ships sailing on the rivers, trade flows between the factions. The shipyard, a new large building, upgrades your shipping or range and produces ships with twenty faction-specific add-ons. Factions that export receive VPs and resources depending on the building they deliver to. Factions that import and receive an opponent's ship gain power. Ships can excavate and build in adjacent hexes, so be on your guard! Ships can also be converted into new dwellings. The movement and dwelling construction of ships add a new tactical movement element to Terra Mystica's already deep strategy, while keeping all information available.

The factions also have to adapt to a completely new set of 12 round scoring tiles, four new ship-related favors, three new bonus tiles, three extra power actions, city tiles, and two maps: Loon Lakes and Fjords. The maps and most of the round scoring tiles can also be used with the base game if desired.

The Fire and Ice expansion is not required, but materials for them are provided.
