Game with Gino in upstate New York
Gino got back into Pirates last year and although I don’t live in New York State anymore due to the Navy, I figured there would be a chance we could meet up at some point given […]

The question on everyone’s mind, where’d he get such a cool battle mat though?

Better yet, would he take commissions for more custom oceans?

Ben replied to the topic The Fleets Thread in the forum Pirates CSG 5 years ago
So this is a little 45 point fleet (or 40 with a build booster. I’m really interested in the idea of the Maui’s Fishhook as a ship stealer with Commander Temple aboard, so this is just a combo to get it on the board with decent support.
I like the concept a lot and think you’re off to a good start. This makes me want to get Temple on a faste…[Read more]

HMS Swallow Speed Demon Attack
HMS Swallow + Hermione Gold (MI), Griffin (LE version), helmsman, oarsman
HMS Patagonia + Robinson, Administrator Scott Bratley, Lord Mycron, oarsmanThat works as a 40 (45) point fleet. Add a gold runner to make it a 45 or 50 point fleet. Bit more of a combo than a fleet right now, but S+L+S+S doubled with 2’s…[Read more]

What kind of collector are you?
The Penny Pincher: Searches the internet and eBay for hours upon hours to save tens or hundreds of dollars. Possibly could have spent that time just making more money in the first place.
The Deal Hawk: Always on the lookout for good deals, rarely purchases anything. Often gets “deal of the year” type stuff. Usu…[Read more] -

What kind of player are you?
The Gladiator: Treats standard games like a deathmatch. Tries to sink everything.
The Newbie: Barely uses any crew. Doesn’t put helmsmen on ships with S speed.
The Fool: Normally uses a ton of house rules and acts confused when they try to play with other people.
The Scumbag: Only uses Le Bonaparte, Mermaids, B…[Read more] -

I’m from Black Diamond, WA. I’m currently looking for anyone in the Seattle-ish area to get their Pirate on.
Ahoy matey, welcome aboard! I just moved to Everett WA so hopefully we could meet up soon to play! 😀
I got into Pirates CSG around a month ago when I found an unopened Spanish Main pack at my local games store in the bargain bin.<…

Ben replied to the topic Custom Ships (post your custom game pieces here!) in the forum Pirates CSG 5 years, 1 month ago
What model ship is the Mars (Pirates of the Age of Sail)?
@mr-wick: I moved your question since this is the proper thread for it.
I have not worked on the Mars custom at all, but I will probably make it a 4 masted square rigged ship (same type as HMS Dover) based on its size and armament.

I am now living in Everett Washington! This means I am in the northern part of the Seattle metropolitan area, and a 3 hour drive from Portland Oregon. I am very excited about this, partly because a lot of former Wizkids employees still live near Seattle (Wizkids’ headquarters when they produced Pirates was in Bellevue WA, which is next to S…[Read more]

Ouch, no gold. Still looks like a fun game though. Did a mast break on the Jarvis?
Yeah, unfortunately from beginner’s inexperience during assembly. I must have offered to build it or put that specific mast in but it’s still good to learn what not to do from direct experience.
