There’s something so cathartic about cracking 36 packs! I am also considering buying a plunder pack- I currently have no 10 masters,

I’m considering using it to get more use out of my cursed ships.

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]

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]

What treasures lie within? What are your favorite crimson coast pieces? Is there any better feeling than cracking packs?

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!

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.

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]

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]

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?

Mass produced sets like OE are still easy to find, but obviously the supply of even those is not infinite.

Plus this is probably the most economical option.

Besides telling my friends and signing petitions of course. I know of several tabletop websites that like to do features on “retro” games that maybe we could reach out to and have them do a piece on the game?
