Welcome to Ice World 2022. Simple idea: Three fleets featuring at least one Ice Breaker each. All Wild Islands are situated inside a ring of icebergs. While Ice Breakers are meant to forge a path and deal with the bergs quickly, the ever changing map could become a frosty sea of terror for hopeful treasure runners. Standard set up, however…[Read more]

I’m late but

Fleet of the Year: A small 40 point, two ship fleet I started the year with. Was the maiden voyage for my HMS Swallow, and took down a particularly annoying Baochuan build. This started my year of pondering on the english being higher on my list of favorite factions than I care to admit 😉

Picture of the Year: Posted on FB at the…[Read more]

The one American ship is the Super Rare, Roanoke!!! There is also an American Captain card# 115 in the base set

Loving that the rankings are back, buddy! Great work. Oh man I don’t want to “celebrate” but a SS game on 11/10 seems like the right thing to do…hhahah

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!!

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]

Woelf I love that!!! Very clever use of the recruiter hahaha. Can’t wait to drop that one on my group haha.

The custom juices are flowing!

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]

Hahaha looks like Woelf addressed my exact situation before I responded!!! Nice!!!

I have a decent example. I had a game come down to the last two or three turns. Game winning treasure on a ship heading home. Fleet that was in the lead, h…[Read more]

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.

Good to have you back, Capn.

ok , “Frisbee Setup” is now on the to-do list!

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!

Thanks Woelf!!

Also, great idea Xerecs, I hadn’t thought of bringing an extra Chieftain!

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!
