Another clarification: for the multiplayer endgame rules regarding “half or more players” can’t give future move actions, I assume you’d round up in a game with an odd number of players?  (ex: in a 9 player game, 5 would have to be eliminated for it to end because rounding down to 4 from 4.5 would violate the “or more” intention)

When is the determination made on whether or not Mysterious Island effects will be used?  Based on the Setup rules it seems it would be decided between placing islands and placing terrain, but before choosing home islands.

Ahoy mateys!Three players are flying up from Los Angeles to join the PNW Pirates for a weekend of piratey gaming! We are currently expecting about 6 players per game! We will be playing at least 3-4 games of Pirates CSG at Mox Boarding House in Bellevue. We might also play a game of Epic Scale Pirates (made by Captain Redgoat of PDXYAR in Portland…[Read more]

MI LE’s up for grabs

Had some fun in Vegas this year too!  🙂

What happens if players cannot agree on the number of terrain pieces used?

How are mysterious islands handled if some players want to use them and others don’t?

The Eye’s effect only lasts until the end of the player’s own turn.  It does not carry over to opposing player turns, and then has to be reset at the beginning of the player’s next turn, even if they do choose the same ability again.

On a related note, for win condition #3 on page 14, can the phrase “a player” mean the opposing player, or does e…[Read more]
