I would love to buy another booster box! There’s something so cathartic about cracking 36 packs! I am also considering buying a plunder pack- I currently have no 10 masters,

Robert replied to the topic Idea For Econ Games in the forum Pirates CSG 4 years, 8 months ago
I think playing otherwise standard games using Ben’s recosted list would also allow some less loved ships to see play time. I’m considering using it to get more use out of my cursed ships.

Update: I slaughtered them all! I managed to pull the roanoke, as well as several great rares. The highlight of the packs included acquiring SIX New five masters! Along with 4 new forts ( I previously only had one) As I previously owned no crimson coast, here is the date for rate of duplicates to unique ships -45 out of 72 or 62 percent were…[Read more]

Robert replied to the topic The Nostalgia Thread in the forum Pirates CSG 4 years, 8 months ago
Ben, I remember always being so excited to pick up one of these packs at the store as a kid. I loved oceans edge because of the crazy things you could pull from it. I also remember my frustration as a kid from breaking my El Toro during assembly! That killed me because the giant 🦀 was probably my favorite thing I could have pulled. At present it…[Read more]

Just picked up my box of 36 crimson coast packs. What treasures lie within? What are your favorite crimson coast pieces? Is there any better feeling than cracking packs?

Robert replied to the topic Pulls/Purchases Thread in the forum Pirates CSG 5 years, 8 months ago
I think I have more fun opening the packs than playing the game. It’s so much fun to open a pack not knowing what’s inside. I know OE is sub par gameplay wise but the sheer variety of types of ships makes it fun to open. I get so excited whenever I pull a sea monster or some other weird thing!

I recently bought 40 or so packs, and managed to pull a dutchman, the endeavour, HMS grand temple, La Soleil, and Lord Algernon. Among other neat pulls

Robert replied to the topic Kickstarter/etc to buy rights to the game from NECA? in the forum Pirates CSG 5 years, 9 months ago
This is entirely anecdotal, but after posting a picture of my pirates collection to my Snapchat story, I received atleast 3-4 messages expresssing nostalgia for the game.
keep in mind I only have 30~ or so friends and none of the people who messaged me play any sort of tabletop games at present.

Robert replied to the topic Kickstarter/etc to buy rights to the game from NECA? in the forum Pirates CSG 5 years, 9 months ago
I don’t think the community is big enough. We need to bring in more people. Even if NECA gave you the license for free, the amount of money required to produce a reasonable number of packs would probably be pretty high.
There is however, a lot of people who have nostalgia for this game, and there is not a CSG on the market currently. I feel l…[Read more]

Robert replied to the topic Is there a better construction material than styrene to make the ships with? in the forum Pirates CSG 5 years, 9 months ago
Metal is a good material for constructing models at a fairly economic price, but I worth painting the metal would be next to impossible to do well.

Robert replied to the topic Is there a better construction material than styrene to make the ships with? in the forum Pirates CSG 5 years, 9 months ago
You might be able to do metal. See products like metal earth. In my experience though that stuff is so flimsy and finicky it’s not worth fooling with. Laser cut wood is a good option but that is probably prohibitively expensive and might require glue.
A more realistic route for a reboot might be to ditch the buildable aspect entirely, and just h…[Read more]

Robert started the topic A game in every pack! in the forum Pirates CSG 5 years, 9 months ago
I really like that you only need one pack to play this game. No starter pack required. However; we all know the game gets much better with more ships (see all of Ben’s campaign games)
Has anyone actually played a game with the contents of a single pack?

Robert replied to the topic 2019 State of the Pirates Community Address in the forum Pirates CSG 5 years, 9 months ago
How do you feel about the number of packs floating around? Mass produced sets like OE are still easy to find, but obviously the supply of even those is not infinite.

Robert replied to the topic The scale of Pirates CSG is PERFECT!! in the forum Pirates CSG 5 years, 9 months ago
I agree! not really sure if they should be called “pocket models”. Sounds like a good way to break a mast!
