Going crazy with fleets this month!  More to come!

One of Darrin’s old fleets (the Miniature Trading member who invented the UPS fleet archetype as far as I know) made me peruse the Mysterious Islands again and ponder some effects.

MI #15 seems particularly wild, especially in the case of Unique Treasures. “5-6: Randomly move one treasure coin from this island to your home island.”  Perhaps I’ll…[Read more]

Seventeen feels a bit pricey for her effectiveness as a gunship.  I could see her in the 11-13 range. Although, she may be a slightly worse ship than HMS Nautilus (10 points).

If Wolves is face up on a wild island, Royal Decree can’t pick anything from that island; it has to pull from elsewhere.

I think the Code entry for Wolves should probably include a note about needing to keep it face up once revealed.  The part about it needing to be hit for elimination implies that, but it’s a little odd that it doesn’t say so ex…[Read more]

Does anything strange happen if the Wolves UT is teleported straight to your home island? (such as one of the Royal Decree UT’s, or a Mysterious Island effect)

Super excited to use the chess clock for the first time!  It was great and I’ll continue trying different timers….

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.

Is the l…[Read more]

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?
Here you go Ben, my 70 point, no sails fleet:

Dive or die . .

Awesome! Someone from the discord submitted a fleet as well. Thanks for entering!

Nice game!  Love the pictures with the effects.  Did you use Photoshop to make them?
