Hello,
My name is Cole (CapCaw) and I got into Pirates CSG back in 2009 I believe. I purchased my very own POTC pack and was shocked by how many cards were in the set. I was young at the time so my interest in the game was lost quickly with the rules, but still loved the ships. After that I didn’t find the game again until around 2018. A rush of nostalgia hit me and I immediately became hooked. I found out there were way more than just the POTC set and became very interested in playing the game as well.
I would say I am about a 50/50 player to collector. I’d love it to be more like 80/20 but it’s difficult to find time and people that want to play.
My favorite sets are the POTC set and MI.
