Yeah, it was definitely one of those unexpected bucket list/dream come true type things for someone who loves the game as much as I do.

This is so cool! I bet it was really surreal to them to play a game they created almost 20 years ago and play it in modern day. This was a great read and maybe just maybe the game will pick up again some day.
One can hope.

That’s awesome! Looks like it was a lot of fun!
Getting to play any game with people who designed it and/or worked on it is always a treat. I’ve been able to do that a few times with other games, but not Pirates.
In that first group photo, who is who?

Ben replied to the topic Questions About Game Rules & The Pirate Code in the forum Pirates CSG 1 month, 1 week ago
Is there any way to bring something “extra” along for a fog hop? “If this ship (sea monster) ends her turn in a fog bank, on her next turn she may use her move action to move out of any other fog bank in play.”
It definitely wouldn’t work with flotillas, and I assume not with towing a derelict either. I can think of maybe one possibility – if…[Read more]

Ben replied to the topic Would "perfect parity" of point costs make the game better? in the forum Pirates CSG 1 month, 2 weeks ago
Also, if everything is “costed right” you may need to increase the suggested point limit of standard games from 40 to something else, as a fleet made of costed right ships might get you one or two ships in a fleet (without heavy crew combos) and max out your build total of 40.
I think it would balance out because of all the overpriced ships – I t…[Read more]

From The Pirate Code:
-Abandoned Crew remain facedown until you use their abilities. While face up, they are treated exactly like their corresponding generic crew.
–They do not count against the point limit of a ship.
Normally crew do count against the point limit of a ship – are these different because they were not paid for in the build total?

If you didn’t have any copies of the Turtles UT, how much would you pay for a full-card Turtles with 10 Turtle coins instead of 1, vs. a regular Turtles UT with just the one turtle coin?

Do you think that if everything in the game was “perfectly costed”, that the game would be better off? Or would it simply be options overload every time you went to build a fleet, even more so than it already is?
For example, my Total Recosting was a brief exercise in “fixing” point costs. If it was truly optimized (ex: via algorithm or pe…[Read more]

Ben started the topic Most "shafted" historical game piece? in the forum Pirates CSG 1 month, 2 weeks ago
Every time I see stuff about Dragut I think about what could have been. He definitely seems like a crew that should have been a lot more powerful, maybe even All-Powerful heh.
In your opinion, what is the most “shafted” game piece that existed historically?
Ex: Whydah, historical pirate F&S pack, William Eaton, etc.

Aigle and Providence both look like good and useful warships. Only concern is tracking Aigle’s bonus – I’d probably write or type which ships.

That is awesome! I’m really glad you found the TTS mod. I highly recommend joining the Discord server for Pirates CSG and coordinating with Arde and Juulm, the two people who have worked on it the most. I think they’d love the progress and to have someone else contributing to it.
That looks great with the masts out as carnage on the…[Read more]

I really like how unique Isabella and Badbeard are. Lots of intriguing abilities to have on a gold runner/hybrid.
