Ben started the topic Which Pirates CSG crew do you look like? in the forum Pirates CSG 7 years, 7 months ago
If any of course.
Being a redhead I slightly resemble a few of the characters or generic crew. I didn’t go through all the portraits but the English and American ones gave me ideas. A bit of the English cannoneer from F&S, though not with that huge of a tricep lol. Also perhaps a little of First Mate Ismail.
Do you look like any of the cre…[Read more]

I played the first 4 player 80 point game. Overall, it was a fun game, although very one-sided. The order of play went: Pirates, English, French, Americans. The Americans swapped the Paladin back in for the […]

I really like the Legacy. Interesting combination of keywords. I feel that any six mast with predominately decent cannons will wind up being fielded as some kind of gunship, regardless of cargo and speed.
Thanks!

Is Hill’s Wholesale Gaming trustworthy?
Yes! I’ve bought from them multiple times with good experiences.
I bought from RainTyger the other day. Let’s see how they do.
They are great as well! 🙂

@Xerecs: It says “former slaves” in the first sentence of the ship’s flavor text, so I’m not going to worry about every iteration.

@Jack: My problem with the canoes is that they’re too good. Especially the American ones. I don’t like El Puerto Blanco much, but it’s neat that Spain got 3 forts.
The Chieftain is on the Alquimista (which is why they’re in the same section) and assumes the full point cost of the canoes. More info in the MKL.
Thanks for checking it out!

I reeeally don’t like native canoes. They just seem like strange additions to the game mechanically. But I like the idea! And any excuse to make good use out of El Puerto Blanco is a good thing, as I love that strange little fort.
Also, don’t you need a specific crew to use canoes? I’ve never played them so I’m probably missing something

Oh I see so the Tribal Chieftain isn’t a physical crew card.

I think the game would have benefited from more effects/mechanics like Dagger’s, it makes the game feel more realistic. Also its flavor text is one of very few references to the Dutch in the game. Still bummed they were never an official nation.
Agreed on both. It’s fun to figure out max base moves for some of those seemingly slow ships. The pro…[Read more]
