Meant to post my latest battle report video here, but I forgot. Some of you have already checked it out so thanks for that!

CrazyIvan replied to the topic What is the most underrated ship type in the game? in the forum Pirates CSG 1 year, 7 months ago
I think I tend to see most people overrating a lot of ships so thinking of underrated ones is quite difficult.
I’m not sure if they’re underrated, but I’ve been growing more attached to Galleys recently. Having a pseudo-Oarsman on them is pretty nice as it often forces your opponent to expend extra time to finishing off a mastless Galley. In some…[Read more]

My confusion arose from the codes wording for duplicate UTs. “The no-duplicates rule applies to unique treasures only during setup, when placing them in the treasure pool.” This made me think that the treasure pool is where they had to be unique. Thought I’d just verify it here, thanks again.

CrazyIvan replied to the topic Questions About Game Rules & The Pirate Code in the forum Pirates CSG 1 year, 8 months ago
For Unique Treasures does the No Duplicates rule apply per player or for the treasure pool for the particular game? I.e. can you have multiple copies of a UT in the same game if different players bring them?

If a ship with the “Two hits from the same shoot action are required to eliminate one of this ship’s masts.” ability is hit by something with the “<span style=”color: #000000; font-family: Roboto, sans-serif; font-size: medium;”>Once per turn when this ship hits an enemy ship, also eliminate one crew from that ship.” does it still eliminate a c…[Read more]

I think he’s put the Antelope at 6 points so it can use both crew.

CrazyIvan replied to the topic 2022 End of Year Awards in the forum Pirates CSG 1 year, 9 months ago
For me 2022 marks my first year of getting back into Pirates CSG after having more or less forgotten about it for about a decade so the year has been one full of discovery. At the beginning of the year I thought the game was literally just a Pirates of the Caribbean game, as I talked about in the self-introduction thread, so I’ve had a lot get my…[Read more]

Does your opponent still get to choose if they want to board if you choose not to?

CrazyIvan replied to the topic Questions About Game Rules & The Pirate Code in the forum Pirates CSG 1 year, 9 months ago
If you hit a ship with a Switchblade, but then move away so that you are no longer touching the hit ship can boarding still occur or does the blade have to remain in contact?

Finally managed to finish my 4 player battle report video. Ended up taking quite a bit of time to put together and I was quite buy during the week, but I made it! This one is quite lengthy, but hopefully you still enjoy.

CrazyIvan replied to the topic Holiday Booty Giveaway Contest! in the forum Pirates CSG 1 year, 10 months ago
Thought I’d have a go at doing something a bit different with a video battle report. It’s just for a very small game I played by myself, but I’m hoping to get a video finished for a slightly larger 4 player game I played yesterday.

CrazyIvan commented on the post, Game Modes for playing Pirates CSG 1 year, 10 months ago
Statistically the La Bonne Chance does much more damage than both of those examples when you consider the built-in reroll and she also has an extra mast. I’d argue she’s more like a faster version of the HMS Nautilus. Like I said before though I do still think she’s a step down from the Limited bans you currently have so I wouldn’t really push…[Read more]

CrazyIvan commented on the post, Game Modes for playing Pirates CSG 1 year, 10 months ago
I think these formats looked to be very well thought out and I like the bans in each. I like that the Semi-Limited format only deals with the most egregious pieces, but still leaves most things untouched and would be far more enthusiastic about potentially playing in more serious events with those rules settings. Personally I feel that “how…[Read more]

Ah yes, the “turn them over – they’re yours!”
Thanks for the clarifications, I’ve always played that a player reveals when they have more than half the gold at their island.

CrazyIvan replied to the topic Strategy/Gameplay discussion thread in the forum Pirates CSG 1 year, 11 months ago
To sort of respond to your post as whole, I think the more I play the game the more it seems obvious to me that the game isn’t really balanced at all and a lot of rules and game pieces weren’t play tested as much as they probably should have been.
There are several things such as even the 40 points fleet limit that leave me wondering what the…[Read more]

For ships like Fantasia and Hannah that have the ability “Friendly ships within S of this ship get +1 to their cannon rolls.”, can this also apply to the ship with the ability itself?
