Namazu and the Trident target an area rather than any ship specifically, so Parley won’t work even if it’s the only ship within that target area.
That also means that Namazu could effectively “shoot” (just not with its cannons) at ships docked at a home island, correct?
Yes!
The home island protection really only prevents ships from being t…[Read more]

If a ship has both of these abilities aboard:
-Masts on this ship cannot be eliminated by shots unless the cannon roll is a 6.
-Two hits from the same shoot action are required to eliminate one of this ship’s masts.
Does the first hit of each pair also have to be a 6, or can it be any regular hit because only the second hit would actually e… -

Xerecs replied to the topic Submit your questions for Pirates game piece creator + designer Mike Mulvihill! in the forum Pirates CSG 1 year, 10 months ago

Given that he and the other designers wanted the game to be about gathering the treasure instead of fighting it out,…[Read more]
