How to use Double Shot….
Once per turn when this ship is given a shoot action, one of her cannons can shoot a double shot. Declare which cannon will shoot the double shot before rolling the d6. If it hits, the cannon can shoot again. If either cannon roll is a 1, remove Double Shot from the game and eliminate a mast from this ship.
I assume it…[Read more]

The standard rule still applies, but by taking as much as you can carry you’re more likely to get to the good stuff. You can also take as many zero-space UTs as you want.
I didn’t clarify enough, or I’m reading into your answer too much heh.

Ben commented on the post, Game Modes for playing Pirates CSG 1 year, 4 months ago
Good point, but that originated from the Seattle house rules where the intention was for it to be a rule rather than an ability. Partly so it wouldn’t violate the No-Stacking Rule with Oarsman that also doesn’t take up cargo space. I understand the distinction could be a little confusing. I think I’d prefer to play more games with the house rule…[Read more]

Does Hoard override the loser chooses rule? I think it does but couldn’t recall for sure so I played it the other way against T O’B.

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?

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 year, 5 months 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?

Ben started the topic Would "perfect parity" of point costs make the game better? in the forum Pirates CSG 1 year, 5 months ago
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 year, 5 months 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.
