Bunch of small lots ending today.  (+some not being bid on, including an OE box)

Large lot with good set variety.

Had a great time playing with Captain Randy at Treasure Island in Las Vegas!  😀

I think Raphael Santiago could be 6 points.  Though in your group I guess BA is worth more since it always seems to hit….

Once per turn, when this ship is hit by an enemy ship, you may eliminate a mast from the attacking ship.

This seems like it’s begging for problems.  Might be better if the initial hit was scored only on a 2-4; 5-6 could be h…[Read more]

Wrecks block lines of fire, correct?

I have used the shipwreck style of play where ships are left on the board when they sink. That is likely my favorite.

Are all of the “sunken” ships available just as regular (reefed) shipwrecks would be? (for exploration/blocking/etc)

Cannot think of any significant downfalls at the moment but I’m sure it will negatively impact certain Keywords a…

Awesome, thanks Woelf!  Interesting that a submerged ship with that ability could shoot through a nearby submerged ship to shoot at another submerged ship.  XD

During a shoot action, when drawing a line of fire to an opposing ship, continue that line of fire to see if it can touch an additional opposing ship within range. If it does, on a roll of 6 eliminate one cargo from that second ship after doing normal damage to the target ship. On any cannon roll of 1, eliminate that cannon and remove this…

Lot with some custom islands and other goodies.

Nice mixed lot

@Chris, Jeremiah: Thanks a lot!  🙂

I’m a lifetime gamer who played Pirates a bit when it released, and even ran a few events at the game store I worked at at the time.

That is awesome!  Feel free to tell any stories of those Pirates events if you want. (this thread would be the best place I think)

Every time I get on this site to do research I’m impressed by the passionate fanb…

Won’t be available much between 11/12 and 11/18.

How does this sound?

Looks like fun! 🙂

But I think you should maybe switch “cannons” and “lines of fire”; to me that would just sound a little better and less confusing.

The problem is getting a wording that implies that the ship is shooting through another ship.  Someone could interpret it to mean a ship at point blank range, and another on the other side of the ship that is in range…[Read more]

Thanks for the feedback.  Here is where they stand now:

Extra Powder
Equipment
Point Cost: 2
Ability: You may reveal this equipment to double the ranges of this ship’s cannons for this turn. Then remove Extra Powder from the game.

Maximum Gunpowder
Equipment
Point Cost: 2
Ability: If the cannons of this ship’s lines of fire are in range of mo…[Read more]

Here is an existing equipment I made:

Extra Powder
Equipment
Point Cost: 1
Ability: You may reveal this equipment to double the ranges of this ship’s cannons for this turn. Then remove Extra Powder from the game.

I am now thinking about an “alternate”. However, they could also be combined into one equipment that could be used separately…[Read more]
