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.

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.

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.

How does the “<span style=”color: #000000; font-family: docs-Calibri; font-size: 15px; white-space: pre-wrap;”>This ship may dock at an enemy home island and load one treasure. If able, she must leave on your next turn.” </span>work? Do you get to choose the treasure you take or is it random?

Also when trying to find an answer in the FAQ I came…[Read more]

Wow, I didn’t know about this! Makes ships like El Garante feel even more strange.

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?

Thanks for the rundown Woelf.

What you talk about happening with FotG is basically what I thought would have ended up happening after have a read through events, so no surprises to me there.

I think Divers and Raft seem like the most fair events though they don’t really feel like “events” per se. They feel like they should be something like…[Read more]

Yeah that makes sense. Those two cards in particular do seem a bit too strong for their cost.

Are there any events that you’ve used before that you feel have added to the game at all or do you think events are just a badly done mechanic in general?

Got all my stuff today too. Cheers Ben!

Is there a ruling that states this is the case? It seems logical that you wouldn’t be able to, but I can’t find anything in the code that specifically states that you can’t.

Can you use a Shipwright to repair a mast replaced with a fire mast?

Hey Ben, I have spares of all the PotC pieces you need, but the ships have been built and the Black Pearl only has the deck plate remaining from its cards. The Kraken Gong card has also had the empty treasure slots part of the card cut off to just keep the rules section. The Cursed Captain Jack is still as its original card though. They have some…[Read more]

Is it correct that a Musketeer shot can benefit from the “This ship eliminates two masts with one hit.” ability?

The code entry says “This ability applies to all additional cannons provided to the ship by abilities, unless specified otherwise.” and doesn’t seem to contradict anything in the Musketeer’s wording, but I just wanted to clarify. Thanks.
