I snagged it as soon as I saw the difference in packaging. It wasn’t cheap, for a single pack with 2 ships, but it seems like it’s pretty rare even if the contents are just reprints of other ships.

I remember something about a rare island that was only available in a European magazine, but I can’t find a mention of that island anywhere (and it’s hard to search on “Pirates CSG rare island”). Does anyone know more about what I’m talking about?

The back has some text: “Promotional use only, not for resale.” It has a Danish (Copenhagen) address and mentions Enigma Distribution. The URL now resolves to the Nordic Asmodee website.

The “instructions” on the back of the pack translate as “Build ships, find…[Read more]

I came across a pack of PotSM that has “Promo edition” in the circle on the lower left of the foil. The info on the back makes it look like this is a European pack (it’s from a seller in Sweden) but the packaging is in English. Additionally it DOESN’T say “of…[Read more]

Only then would you start a KS to raise the funds. If you just randomly started a KS to purchase something you have no idea if they even want to sell, I can’t imagine anyone backing it.

And for it to succeed (or for me to support it),…[Read more]
