What fixes or clarifications would you make there?

Taking a look at the complete game rules section, it seems like WK brought a lot of the language from the Sea Monster keyword into the Sea Creature category. I think distinguishing it from Sea Monster might go a ways to clearing it up.

During T1 and T2, did you enjoy having some control over your…

I typically play 3 player games (when not in campaign mode), and determine player order a couple of ways. All players roll dice and highest goes first, with play continuing to the left. Oldest player goes first and descends to the youngest, and vice-versa.

I don’t think it should be added as a general action (for now), but I do think you should be able to board a ship if the ships are touching, and not just rammed and pinned. Additionally you could revamp the S-Board ability and include that as part of a general mechanic instead of a niche ability on certain crew and ships.

I do like the…[Read more]

From reading this, it seems I’ve been playing gold bonus ships and crew wrong. When a ship unloads treasure and has a bonus, I get a new coin to represent that bonus and place it on the home island.

For example: La Santa Isabel docks at home and unloads 3 coins. The gold bonus kicks in, giving one of them a +2 to value. I go and get a spare 2…[Read more]

Hmmmmm. Bit of a tough one for me. Some point costs are absolutely silly, especially among the Cursed, Americans, and Vikings. That said, I do enjoy the “power pieces” that are low cost like Banshee’s Cry. 😀

I do believe that fixing, or clarifying rulings would be slightly more important, especially where Creatures are concerned.

Do people think…

We are back! Report 5 is now up!

Abilities that steal or trade treasure by touching another ship, can those abilities be used by submerged submarines?

For example, Nikos Cheilos on his linked Fathom Submarine. Would he be able to take treasures from a ship while the Fathom is submerged?

How many ships can you board with the S-Board ability on the same turn? Can you even use that ability to board more than one ship in a move action?

Also, the Brave Selkirk. Can it use it’s ability while submerged?

Due to some personal stuff, CoEC will likely not update again until next Saturday, the 24th.

Report 4 is now up! What could the Cursed have found!?

Report 3 is now up! What else is hidden out there?

Can’t wait to see this game in person in a few days!

Hopefully I’ll get another two reports up before then!

Report 2, is now up! What could the Americans have found?

Hyped that the game has begun!

Me too! Report 1 only covers about half of the first DAY of action! 0.0 Stuff’s been happening almost every day since then!

The Adventure begins!! Report 1 is now up!

The Rats UT says it cannot be unloaded from a ship. Does this mean that it cannot be transferred to another ship?

Is that only possible/relevant at Voya Nui?

No, the Lagoon Island is the primary island where that rule will be relevant.

Is it ever confusing switching back and forth between CoEC and CG4 due to the rules differences?

You hit it right on the head, digital v. physical keeps them separate enough. However, I’d like to one day have a game as massive…[Read more]
