Whoops! I fixed it; that’s what happens when I don’t write the battle report very soon after the game. Glad you mentioned the canoe repairing since I kind of forgot about that too. Certainly an awesome use of the unique ability!

A Pair of Games: 4 Players, 60 Points in LA!
January 29th, 2022
I met up with Gazerbeam543, JW Darkhurst, and Xerecs at Gazerbeam’s house in Los Angeles! We played a game utilizing the points in play endgame co […]

Small correction, game one I didn’t have the Slipstream (I wish I did :D), I had the Devil Ray, I just forgot to bring the deckplate with me.
The co-op game was real fun, especially when I pulled off the Native Canoe repairing and healed both the Barnacle and Intermediaro. I’d love to give co-op another go, either with 3 teams of 2, or 2 teams of 3. 0.0

I feel you, happens to me almost every year during the summer game. “What ship is that over there again? Looks like this one. Could also be this one.” Turns out to be neither of those ships. 😀
It certainly is a unique ability, and one that could make Sea Monster fleets more “viable”, especially if more than one set of canoes are involved, English or otherwise.

Can a Hoist’s free explore action happen in between its own move segments? (ex: move S, hoist free explore, move S)

I’ve made various errors over the past few months while playing and it has certainly cost me as well. Indeed, I think at some point we’ll have 5+ players in a game in LA again sometime.

Interesting perspective. While I agree that Captain Jack Sparrow is game-breaking, I don’t think the whole set should be considered a “joke” as a result. Thanks for commenting!

6 Players, 100 Points in Los Angeles!

I made a fleet building error and forgot to include Calico Cat on La Victoire. I don’t think it would have mattered too much though. My attempt to win with gold-capture failed spectacularly. 😀
I did however manage to pull off a gold-capture win the next weekend I think, capturing a Zeus’s worth of crew to seal the deal.
Rambling aside, this was an awesome experience, and I’d love to do it again!

Oops sorry, just switched him out for BC Freda to preserve SAT and added a stinkpot shot since I had to remove Vega.

Yikes, that is a ridiculous point differential. I’ll throw my pirate hat into the ring.

Something that stayed face-up on an island once revealed.
Not enough to tell if it would be OP or not. That could be anything from “bring a ship into the game at this island when you roll a 6” to “ships docked here get +1 to their boarding rolls”.

Edit: I opened just one Revolution pack tonight. Got the rare Bonhomme Richard! Weird though, the other ship is actually two different ships. Deck plate of Hades’ Flame and sides and sails for Executioner….
Mismatched cards are unfortunate, but we have a thread you can post them in for an off chance you’ll eventually find some kind of match.

I wanted to share my enthusiasm and good news with you guys. My big order from Hills Wholesale Gaming arrived today! I’ve yet to open the box, but I got 40 packs of Spanish Main, 36 of Revolution and 36 of Oceans Edge! A significant increase to my very humble collection. I also have 36 packs of Caribbean coming, so well on the way to diverse and i…

The Cursed are easily the worst of the “Big 6” major factions. Though I do think Davy Jones can be viable in 40 point games. Thanks for commenting!

Woelf, do you know if there’s a specific reason that crew on scuttled ships are eliminated rather than removed from the game? I’m not sure if I really grasped that until rereading the rule just now.

@Shamsy: For your towing questions, the answer is YES to all! If you give the towed ship a repair action, I believe that would immediately break the tow because the towed ship would no longer be derelict, and the Code states “If a ship is considered derelict it can be towed, even if it is still capable of movement.” Once a mast is up the ship i…[Read more]
