I would like a clarification, if possible. The Code entry for Carbon Charlie (and others) states:

This ability may be used at any time during your turn while this ship is docked at your home island.

……

You may create only one cannon per ship per turn.

That last “per turn” is meant to be your turn correct, not every player turn?

It’s only du…[Read more]

Does Runes of Defense activate upon a successful ram? The UT says “when one of this ship’s masts is eliminated”, but under the ram rules it also says “remove from the game”.

I don’t know why the Ram rules ever included that extra “remove from the game” phrasing, because there are several ways for those masts to be brought back into the game.

I recall asking this question at the MT rules thread but can’t recall the answer.

If a ship physically cannot move a segment during a move action due to other ships (or other objects/game pieces) being in the way, is it stuck or can it move the closest possible distance even if the direction isn’t game-legal?

I think a better example than thi…

I take the above to mean that you could use White Crew and Trogs to totally cripple a ship if you win a boarding party against it. White crew would eliminate all the crew on a successful board, while Trogs would take all the treasure. Both trigger on a successful boarding attempt, but have different effects. Is this accurate?

Yes that’s…[Read more]

Suppose one of my ships docks at an island. As per the free transfer, I unload a crew and an equipment. Could an opposing player dock at the same island and load that crew and equipment? The Code states that a Marine cannot be loaded from an island by an opposing player, but I didn’t find anything about a regular crew or equipment.

Only Marines a…[Read more]

Are the UT generation effects of MI’s #4 and #12 mandatory?

“5-6: When this ship explores this island, replace one treasure coin with a unique treasure from your collection.”

It doesn’t say “you may”, so yes.

What takes precedence, sea monster pinning (mandatory?) or “this ship cannot be pinned”?  I assume cannot be pinned, because Sea Monster ke…

Suppose that Altar of the Loa is found on a Mysterious Island. Would the Altar function similar to a fort, preventing any of the MI abilities from being used? Or would the island function normally?

Both would function normally.

They wouldn’t really affect each other directly at all, unless the island does something to treasure or would do…[Read more]

Great to see the place up and running again!

It even kept me logged in between visits yesterday and today!

Can a native canoe be used to trigger the ability of El Puerto Blanco while still moving other native canoes in the same set of canoes?

A ship docked at this fort may use its action for the turn to look at one face-down treasure on each island.

Or does the canoe have to move and redock, which would not be using its action for the turn to do…

Hey Woelf, thanks for the response. I’m the user that asked this question. I just don’t know that I follow you here, since both ability errata state “This ability must be used before applying any other “beginning of turn” abilities or effects.” and “This ability is rolled at the beginning of a turn, before any other “beginning of turn” abilities…

These two characters for sure, because they’re just alternate versions of the same person.  Similar to the multiple Sparrows.

I think I have a misprinted card/ship. The card is 022 from oceans edge, the Deliverance. According to the card, there are two 3S cannons and three 3L cannons. However, when I look at the masts on the ship itself, I’m seeing four 3L cannons and one 3S cannon. I verified that all the masts are for the Deliverance, I compared the numbers on them t…
