Ahoy,
I started playing pirates back in 2005 when it first came out. I loved the historical ship designs of the pieces. Recently I stumbled across two 36 pack boxes, one of Revolution and one of Barbary Coast and decided to buy them so I could force my friends to play. I would say I am 80% player and 20% collector. My favorite ship will always be the USS Constitution because she was one of the first ones I opened way back when I first started, plus I have had the pleasure of seeing her in person.
The best thing about Pirates is the flexibility to make the ships work with a ton of different game designs. I hope my friends get hooked so I can play around with some of the custom rules I have found on this site.
Thank you for the advice! One last question for now. I was planning on changing the ramming rules because they never made sense to me. Instead of galleys not being able to ram I was going to change it to only galleys can ram. It seems to make sense to me thematically and for gameplay reasons, makes 1 masters better. But does this make the Barbary pirates too powerful?
