Punched copies of Specter and Delusion

Q2) Davy Jones (DJC) copies the Fog-Hopping ability and moved into a fog. Since his ability is reset on the next turn, can the ability be recopied and ‘hop’ out of another fog with a move action? Does the ability need to be recopied or is it carried over from the last turn?

Copied abilities generally do not carry over, so he would have to cop…

Ahoy!  Today is a Pirates CSG Stop Lurking Day!  If you haven’t posted yet, todays the day to introduce yourself!  And feel free to include the details of your last Pirates CSG purchase!  😀

@Shamsy: Nice game!  This is the thread where battle reports go.

Standard rules, no terrain and rather than counting out a gold value, I used random value coins. I like that wildcard.

I generally like random value coins as well.

Was the Harbinger the Pirate 5 master?  She has the ship stealing ability; the Revenant can shoot through other ships b…[Read more]

I may have missed it when reading but where do we submit our fleets? This thread?

Yes, I had it under More Stuff but I’ll put it under Rules instead.

Post your fleet in this thread before 2022 starts.

Final numbers

Absolutely unreal.  I am without speech.  XD  I can’t believe you got within about 500 points of the CTO record, and within 1000 points of CG4’s current total.  O_O  I have updated the Records post.

I think an equally interesting thought, especially if it could be applied retroactively, would be to bid to remove certain items and/or prevent certain nations from ever getting them.   Not every nation really needs or should even have a canceller or sac-crew.

Indeed, but in that case I would launch a public awareness campaign to destroy mermaids!

Of everything, I think having the box set incorporate a known selection of generic crew is almost, or more important. Without captains, for example, you would be destroyed by an opposition who had those in abundance in their collection.

Agreed; I think any future iteration of Pirates would definitely have to make useful generic crew abundant…[Read more]

Great to be playing again!  2 games with local players in Tacoma WA!

@Shamsy: Thank you for the feedback!

The idea of a split distribution sounds kinda cool.  I assume you would want the random packs to contain nothing you could find in the base box? (extras only, which would prevent duplicates at least at first)

Buying for excitement could work with an idea I had for starter packs/boxes – you know you’ll get…[Read more]

I was going to post my humble collection, but am having difficulty with inserting photos. I did read the thread but can’t get a result. To be continued.

Are you able to identify where it’s going wrong?  Are you getting an error message?

Wow.  When I recorded this I had no idea that apparently I was right next to a PotC filming location!  😮

@Shamsy: Welcome aboard!  I love your story and it’s always great to hear about people coming back to the game.

However, the good news is I now regularly host games nights with some friends and I rediscovered my collection, safely tucked away in a few boxes. I immediately remembered the old love, the simplicity of the game, the ease of access and…

This is always a treat.  I got the popcorn out for this finale.  🙂  I will admit I figured it would be 30 minutes of gameplay and duking it out with the last ~10 minutes for the results, so you faked me out with the quick ending.  😜😂

The results make me wonder who would have won the war if it was played out and the Franco-Spanish stuck tog…[Read more]
