It’s actually a very unusual situation.

I think I have a misprinted card/ship. The card is 022 from oceans edge, the Deliverance. According to the card, there are two 3S cannons and three 3L cannons. However, when I look at the masts on the ship itself, I’m seeing four 3L cannons and one 3S cannon. I ver…[Read more]

I can give you the following:

Cutlass, Thompsons Island, Nightmare, La Bonne Chance, USS Aaron Burr, HMS King John, Death Wind, Lusca, HMS Concorde, Captain Montana Mays.

Let me know if you are interested.

Thanks for the game report!

Makes me want a 3-D print parts for islands like that. I do have a 3-D printer, so I am capable of doing it. Designing the parts will be difficult.

Is that the Delusion in the first photo? I have that as well, it’s my favorite ship.

What direction does a squid (sea monster) face when it moves? Tentacles facing forward or behind?

I assume behind because that’s how squids moving in real life. Plus the white dot to indicate where to start movement is on the base of the squid with the tentacles facing behind.

Had my first game in a while today, so I figured I would report on it.

Here was the setup. 80 point game, 2 players. Cursed VS Pirates. Oceans edge rules and pieces (except 1)

Fleets and crew were as follows:

Pirates:

Angelica, Raninoidea, Neptunes Hoard (with Jack Hawkins and Shap’ng Tsai) and HMS Rickets (with Helmsman and o…[Read more]

I have a few game rules questions. I happened to be playing a game today and yesterday, a cursed fleet versus a French fleet. I would like some clarifications on some of the cards and some of the rules.

The first question concerns the oceans edge card Davy Jones, which states, “limit. Once per turn, roll a D6. On a 1–4 you may giv…[Read more]

Don’t know what all that extra text is. Let me try again.

This is what I meant to say.

The Revolution card Jean Laffite says the following:

“Once at the beginning of each of your turns, roll a D6. On a result of six, any ship in your fleet may be given two actions that turn.”

I don’t know if this mean…[Read more]

Hoarding gold says “if this ship wins a boarding party, she can take as much treasure from the other ship as she can carry“

Also, with unholy light on the Delusion, you can find out if a ship is worth attempting to ram/board or not if it’s…[Read more]

I was wondering about that. Thank you for pointing that out.

I’m still learning about this game, so thanks for helping me out.

I do the same with linked crew/ships.

I am not sure if this is correct, though.

It says on the card “If derelict, this ship gains a base move of +S. This crew takes up no cargo space.”

After a thorough read through, I discovered what I was doing wrong.

I did another demo game, and it was a lot more fun and a lot better. I think I’m ready to introduce this game to the party.

Thanks again,

Jared

New member here. I’m just getting back into the game, haven’t played it in a long time. I’m 27 now, and I’ve am having a lot of fun with this game.

I collect oceans edge and revolution packs. They’re the ones I have the most fond memories of. I also have the 10 mast delusion.

I actually forgot to introduce myself before posting o…[Read more]
