the apparent rule that a canceller can’t cancel himself or his own ship, except the printed card rule says “within S of this ship” and his own ship is quite literally within S of itself

“Within S of this ship” specifically begins at the outermost edge of the ship’s model silohuette. By definition, it is not, in fact, within S of itself.

I was reading through the flavor text on Zeus, and I think I’ve found definitive evidence that Guichuan is 100% a different ship. Ocean’s Edge takes place in the aftermath of the fall of the Jade Rebellion (which probably took place “off screen” during Frozen North), hence why we see reprints of their ships dispersed among the Big Six. Zeus’…[Read more]

MI #7:
1-2: Randomly move one treasure from this island to another wild island.
3-4: No effect.
5-6: After exploring this island, place a treasure coin from your collection with value equal to or less than one you took on the island.

What is meant by “one you took”? I think it to refers to a coin loaded by the ship during the explore action and…[Read more]

For the purposes of measuring the “S away from home island” for the Mercenary keyword, is that measured from a point on the ship that touches the water (playing surface), or from any point on the ship? In a recent game Randy and I noticed that it could give Celtic Fury a bigger jump if measuring from the edge of the aftermost stern deck rather tha…

Doing it in turn order is only necessary if players get into one of those annoying “If you add that, I’m going to add this!” arguments, or when you need a highly-rigid timing structure for a tournament game or something along those lines.

That makes sense. I thought it might have had to do with ability timings, but I can’t think of anything in th…[Read more]

When are game pieces brought in by 0LR+5 crew chosen, and are they revealed in turn order or at the same time?

If Lord Mycron is on HMS Titan and Titan rolls a 5 or 6 for her extra action, does she now have two actions Lord Mycron can give away?

That’s just the generic rule for anything that might cause a disagreement. If it’s an actual organized tournament, that’s something the organizer should either specify ahead of time, or give their ruling on when it comes up.

Okay, so if I understand you correctly, I’m more or less correct concerning competitive play: if it’s not in the event descr…[Read more]

Can a Navigator place a trade current within S of a friendly ship that is lost in a fog bank? If so, is it measured from any part of the fog bank?

I think you’re correct that they don’t. The way I understand it, lost ships are treated as if they don’t have a definite location on the table; placing them inside the fogbank is merely a convenient way…[Read more]

I can understand this ruling for terrain, as the rules specifically state that players should agree on how many to use (0 is a perfectly valid amount). I have checked the Complete Rules, Pirate Code, and Comprehensive Tournament Rules, and none make such a statement regarding mysterious islands: only that each player is to provide three islands to…[Read more]

I already posted my fleet in the Discord server, posting it here for Ben’s benefit.

It sounds to me like that would be an edit, rather than an addition. Rules as intended, rather than rules as written.

Barnacle and Grand Barnacle need to be added to the No Duplicated list as the same ship.

Delusion Flavor Text:
“Captained by Fitzgerald, who was stabbed in the back by Blackheart for a gold medallion and left to die, and crewed by pirates killed for their treasure by their own former crewmen, the Delusion haunts the seas searching for the gold that was stolen from her in life. A glowing mirage on even the most moonless waves, the…[Read more]

I think I can make a case that Delusion = Zeus, but I need to do a bit of research into first.
