hahaha I have never ever heard it referred to as “I can Haz Treasure” but the ability you are referring to belongs to American Native Canoes!!

Randy replied to the topic What game piece would you eliminate? in the forum Pirates CSG 4 months, 3 weeks ago
Hidden Cove is definitely at the top of most lists! I think I have more pieces that I just don’t understand the existence of (like OE Empress) than ones that are too OP. I usually feel like it is just my fault that I don’t play the OP pieces out of principle haha! We do have a group rule that new players get the BC, but once they win a game, she…[Read more]

Sorry if this one has been answered to death, but I didn’t see any references to this specifically. It has been discussed that Wizkids’ handling of Sea Creature and Monster rules are slightly vague. We have also determined that Sea Monsters/Titans are granted the ability to ram and board by their keyword which overrides the Sea Creature rules. The…[Read more]

Randy replied to the topic Pirates Lore in the forum Pirates CSG 5 months, 3 weeks ago
I think the Loa are outside of anything that DJ or Fantasma would deal with. The spirits of loa (at least in Lousiana and Hatian lore) demand servitude, which would not seem to interest DJ or Fantasma. They deal in cursed creatures and men, where as the Loa are considred voodoo spirits. The ingesting thing about Papa Doc is that he intends to…[Read more]

Randy replied to the topic Rules for Thought #42 – Capturing crewless ships via boarding in the forum Pirates CSG 9 months, 2 weeks ago
this is super interesting! I like the idea of more going on during boarding actions. I like the idea they used for the Deul Event, picking crew members to roll against eachother to see who dies. Could work that in as well. Maybe two captains could duel as a wager for ships, as is seen often in the flavor texts.

Randy replied to the topic Idea For Econ Games in the forum Pirates CSG 10 months, 2 weeks ago
yea Ive played with those rules before, this was meant to kind of supplement those rules with a “shop”. Yea, with only 525 ships I’m afraid I’m at the shallow end of the physical collection pool. Even still, there are about 250 ships that I never play with unless I had to haha! Sweet that would be awesome!

Randy started the topic Idea For Econ Games in the forum Pirates CSG 11 months, 3 weeks ago
The roommate and I are coming up with an idea that would force us to incorporate some of the less desirable ships and crew into large scale games. I know it has been discussed before here that some ships are either too expensive to justify their use, or just have abilities that you don’t find helpful in certain games, so they tend to never see the…[Read more]

Does the action limit apply to a Treasure Ship’s ability to move after loading treasure? So if a treasure ship uses an ability to gain a second action, then uses it to explore, can it now move S away per the Treasure Ship ability?

I do like setting up a large island with lots of treasure!!! lots o fun! I did a Columbus Day game where we did UT’s only and it was amazing. I think I will take your advice and do some UT only matches soon!

Going off standard game rules, I’ve been adding an extra wild island per player for every 20 points over 40 we use. Sometimes it is fun just to make an ocean and not worry so much about balancing islands for thematic reasons or whatever. Most of my small games are 60-80 points..I think I need to step up the games! 😉

Randy replied to the topic Choosing fleets or game types in the forum Pirates CSG 1 year ago
100 point games can get pretty big!! I’ve been thinking more about how many islands should be in play as the game points go up. How many wild islands do your 100 point games usually have?

Yea they wouldn’t be as screwed in my household if I had multiples of the basic crew. I have one complete set of SCS so the Jades only get one of each basic crew. I should probably be more willing to make proxy pieces …we talked about this actually haha. Their named crew are definitely the saving grace, though as you pointed out.
