Uhyggelig feels underwhelming to me. I could see her at 10 points.
Is Abraham’s +2 bonus for cannon and boarding rolls? It might be better to have a semicolon so it doesn’t seem like a separate ability. I could see someone construing it as +2 to d6 rolls against sea creatures. I’m not sure if I love Wizkids’ way of doing it, but it is pretty…[Read more]

Namazu and the Trident target an area rather than any ship specifically, so Parley won’t work even if it’s the only ship within that target area.
That also means that Namazu could effectively “shoot” (just not with its cannons) at ships docked at a home island, correct?

If a ship has both of these abilities aboard:
-Masts on this ship cannot be eliminated by shots unless the cannon roll is a 6.
-Two hits from the same shoot action are required to eliminate one of this ship’s masts.
Does the first hit of each pair also have to be a 6, or can it be any regular hit because only the second hit would actually e…[Read more]

It might not have mattered much to Chris winning the game, but Gog-Clocth stealing a 7 from the San Crsitobal in the mid game definitely affected my outcome. I need to re-read the Sea Monster and Creature rules.

Can Behemoth benefit from copying All-Powerful from a crew after kraken cancelling shuts down the All-Powerful ability? (Each turn roll a d6, on a result of 5 or 6 no crew abilities can be used this turn.)
Can a kraken surround a titan that is on an island? If so, do you move the titan into the kraken once the kraken is as close to the island…[Read more]
