Activity – Ben – Pirates with Ben

How did the pirate canoes explore and load treasure this turn? This would have been their first turn in play so wouldn’t that prevent them from exploring and loading?

….it cannot be given an explore action on your first turn….”

  @Xerecs: The rules don’t specify how to handle native canoes being launched in campaign games, so I just interpreted the keyword as literally as possible. 🙂
  MY first turn was way back in 2018. The keyword says “your first turn” (emphasis added) not “the canoes’ first turn”.

I’ve interpreted it as the canoes first turn, which is why the Conglomerate ones still have nothing on them. I’ve done that for almost all campaigns I’ve played where I control canoes.
However, I see how you could go the other way with it.

  You know what, let’s do it that way (as you play it). Partly because it makes canoes less OP, and they’re often OP. 😀 Anything that curbs them is generally a good thing.
  Also, I blew it. “All native canoes of a single nationality that are given actions must be given the same action.” I forgot that this part applies regardless of whether or not the sets of canoes are identical. I messed up since I gave the new ones explore actions while the Gravedigger’s Sentences got move actions. Consider the UT still on the island and all of the “Madagascar canoes” to be empty which I’ll fix on my next turn. I’ll update the main CG4 post again.
  
  Thanks for bringing up the issue, else I may not have ever noticed my actual rules gaffe.
