My latest fleet: Delay of Game
When you love the game so much, you don’t let it end. XD

I’ve also recently published some new fleet making videos, and there will be more on the way.  🙂  It’s going to be a great year for making fleets and playing!  😀

2024 bump!

If you’re looking for point cost recommendations on Foxtrot, I’d probably start at 9 or 10.

Big lot including Guichuan and SCS advert from magazine or something. (may have come from the same Scrye magazine I’m seeing pages of)

2) A player has unloaded more than half of the game’s starting gold value onto his or her home island.

–The gold value required to trigger this end condition is determined during setup, before the game begins. Abilities or effects that increase or decrease the actual gold value in play during the game do not change that required value.

Thank you!

nextjr is wondering:

Could a submerged submarine be hit by Neptune’s Trident, and if so if it’s the Nautilus submarine does it take two hull pieces of damage or one because of its defensive ability?

Looks like I am first?

Welcome aboard matey!

I think I love this game because it’s theme, it’s very adaptable (can add or remove rules to make it more simple or complex), gives a high degree of freedom (I can add or change rules and the game keeps working) and can be really fun to play.

Love this!  I agree completely. It can be a very “modular” game.

Who rolls the d6 for the ability of Paradis de la Mer, the fort controller or the player shooting at it?

“The first time this fort is shot at each turn, roll a d6. The result is the number of times this fort must be hit that turn before any of its cannons can be eliminated.”

I also think the Pirate Code entry about it is a bit confusing – the…[Read more]
