Supermassive free hoard unboxing!

@Woelf: Do you know if cancellers were costed at 5 points partially to allow players to bring them in with 0LR+5 crew to counter things like Submarines/etc?  (or if 0LR+5’s were introduced to allow the kind of “canceller flexibility” that would be helpful in later expansions when things like Submarine/Eternal/etc were introduced – not sure how…[Read more]

Can a home island raider dock at an enemy home island if there aren’t any coins there?

Pretty sure I’ve asked this but not seeing it via the forum search: If you start your turn on a sargasso sea but you didn’t get stuck last turn, do you have to roll since you’re sailing over it?  Or would you only roll if you contact a NEW sargasso sea during…[Read more]

In multiplayer games, is gold on sunken ships revealed when it’s removed from the game?  Or do you have to rely on asking the player whose ship sunk what they…[Read more]

I assume you can stack the uncommon versions of equipment like exploding shot with the LE variants because they have slightly different effects/drawbacks? (just confirming since a “trigger” could be different than a drawback)

Was someone selling their collection, or were those just extras they had?

Looks like a collection as they were cleaning the basement.

Latest unboxing was a great deal from BGG!

Can a submarine ram another submarine while both are submerged? I couldn’t find anything conclusive in the Code.

Nope.  It’s in the Submarine keyword: “If submerged, a submarine can only move; it cannot shoot or be shot at, it cannot repair, it cannot dock, and it cannot be rammed.”
