I love finding interesting crew/ship combinations, and have been thoroughly enjoying some of the posts here as well as the youtube channel.
That’s great to hear! Feel free to contribute your own combos/etc as well!
I only won once playing with the ship-stealing strategy but it was still really fun to play.
I agree! 🙂
Glad to have you aboard!

Ben started the topic What is your favorite purchase of the game that you’ve made? in the forum Pirates CSG 7 years, 1 month ago
This is somewhat similar to the old best eBay memories thread.
My favorites would be some of my purchases when I got back into the game in 2011. Looking at my collection history, that lot of 311 cards from SM was only $20.50, and contained 104 ships. It included many of my favorites and staples, among them HMS Lord Algernon and El Ac…[Read more]

May not post here much but soon I will be starting my 2019 “game of the year” – 6 fleets at 150 points each with plenty of house rules and craziness. There will content for the game on youtube and the FB group while it’s going on, and eventually I plan to have a full BR here on the site as well once it’s over.

What is your biggest accomplishment in Pirates CSG?
Ex: could be becoming an envoy, winning a tournament, beating good players in the online game, completing your collection, making a big contribution to the community that is helpful/that people use.
In my opinion my biggest accomplishment is my 3-0 record in non-solo campaign games. The…[Read more]

6×150 game update: THERE WILL BE A WATERFALL. 😀
Here are my notes on the subject: Waterfall/uneven heights: Uneven tables at different heights. Waterfall into bay. Can only go down onto lower ocean, not back up unless Turbine/Submarine (perhaps sea creatures too). Whirlpools on lower table that can be used to get to whirlpools on higher tab…[Read more]

Also looks like one of the highest Baochuan auctions in recent memory.

Ben replied to the topic Game Issue – balance vs. quantity in the forum Pirates CSG 7 years, 1 month ago
But at least give the mediocre ships a defined niche in which they would be not be completely hopeless if they actually wind up on the table.
With more appropriate point costs, I think a lot of them would become cheap support ships not unlike the Carrion Crow or HMS Antelope. There would be a large number of ships in the 4-8 point range that…[Read more]

Solid lot here, though perhaps not as good as the other auction starting at $80.

Ben started the topic Game Issue – balance vs. quantity in the forum Pirates CSG 7 years, 1 month ago
The game has more of a balance problem than a quantity problem. It’s not that there are too many ships and crew, it’s just that the top 5-10% of each are too good to justify using almost anything else if you really want to win. If things were playtested and costed properly we wouldn’t have such a problem. (OP stuff should be more expensiv…[Read more]

Ben replied to the topic Introduce Yourself! Join the Crew! in the forum Pirates CSG 7 years, 1 month ago
Hello there. I first discovered Pirates back in 2005. I was at a Walgreens, and they had an open booster box of Revolution sitting by the checkout counter. I was intrigued by the “game in every pack” tagline, and since I love the subject of historical Pirates anyways, I grabbed a handful of packs for myself and my son (who was 12 at the time). We…

The increased price of OE at HWG has made me wonder if they’re finally starting to run out….
(from $38 for 36 packs a few years ago, I think $54 earlier this year and now $72)

This would be a good thread to sticky to the top, or better yet include in a new post with any other relevant codes and tricks for posting on these forums.
Good point, I’ll think about doing that soon.

Ben replied to the topic Is there anything "fancy" you do in games or with your collection? in the forum Pirates CSG 7 years, 1 month ago
I don’t really do much ‘fancy’ stuff with my collection, other than leaving masts in the water for physical campaign games.
It’s a very open-ended question. I would say your customs collection is rather impressive, since most people either don’t make any customs in physical form, and/or don’t find good uses for their duplicates. You do both, w…[Read more]
