Changing “this turn” to “on its next turn” would resolve the timing issue, assuming that’s when it’s intended to take effect.

I think that’s what the intended purpose was. JWD designed this one if I’m not mistaken. I’ll make a change in the CDB.

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?

Altar of the Loa:
Do not load this treasure. Instead, place it face up on this island. While docked at this island you may eliminate two crew; if you…[Read more]

Challenge closed on Spet. 11, Cap’n Stormbringer was declared the winner on August 27th. The option for the next challenge is now his.

Some Englishmen to counter the Pirates! The ships from the 4th and 5th movie, along with two crew who should have been in the PotC set, instead of lumped into an underwhelming UT.

HMS Providence

Something I’ve been slow cooking for a while now, an extension of sorts to the Disney Pirates set. The focus would be on ships and crew from the 4th and 5th movies, along with some of the other Pirates media I’m aware of (comics and novels mostly). In general I’m trying not to repeat any characters or ships that appeared in the actual set, unless…[Read more]

Hmmm. That gives me ideas. Thanks Woelf!

I have a couple questions and clarifications regarding the English Native Canoes from RtSS.

In the old MT thread it was confirmed that they can be used to “repair” Sea Monsters. Would their ability allow for non-Sea Monster creatures to be “repaired” as well; such as Sea Dragons, Titans…[Read more]

“Spanish Native Canoes”

Native Canoe. Each treasure this ship unloads at your home island is worth +1 gold.

A couple questions, firstly since the ability refers to “this ship” and not “this canoe” I take it that it could be copied and used by another ship?

Is the trigger different enough to stack with other gold bonus abilities, specifically the…[Read more]

“The Code, S-Boarding”

-This ability may be used by or against a ship that is submerged

This would mostly apply to submarines, but if the S-board ability was on a Sea Monster, either built-in like on Lasses’ Lament or present via a the Chariot, would that Sea Monster be able to board while submerged?

The second game of the day, between me and JW. With Charlie leaving for work related reasons, we decided on a 60 point game with little to no restrictions. 6 total islands with 5 random UT’s including some of our custom ones! I went with a mix of ships, once again including a new addition to my personal collection:
El Principe de Asturias with C…[Read more]

My brother and I got together with one of his co-workers for a game! He’s a very new player, this being his second or third game ever. As such fleets were kept more or less simple with no named crew, no unique treasures and no terrain. We didn’t follow standard island placement at all, resulting in probably more islands than we needed which dre…[Read more]

Refined rules for the Storm terrain

Storm

A Storm has the numbers 1-6 printed around its edge, as well as a gold number printed at its
Center. Storms block lines of fire.
At the end of each player’s turn, that player must roll a d6. Compare the result to the gold number printed on all icebergs in play. If the result matches any storm(s),…[Read more]

The Pirate Code, Icebergs

If an iceberg moves and touches any other object, it stops moving immediately. Unless that object was an island, the iceberg may be moved again at a later time per the standard rules

I take this to mean that an iceberg would stop moving if it came into contact with another piece of terrain, it wouldn’t move over or…[Read more]

Quite an impressive turtle with several impressive abilities. This one in particular might benefit from not having a fort on it’s back, (even though that’s their main gimmick) as you could potentially assign a Marine crew to the Turtle and essentially make it function like some kind of giant submarine.

Towing a Sargasso around doesn’t sound that…[Read more]

Suppose a ship finds Buried Treasure (or Plunder), and that treasure is later lost in a boarding party to an enemy ship. Does the loosing a turn aspect of those treasures apply to the ship that took them in the boarding party?

Ship A finds Buried Treasure(BT) and looses a turn and establishes value. Ship A is later boarded by enemy ship B. Ship B…[Read more]

I would clarify what this means – can shoot at submerged ships, can ram them, etc

It would function similar to the abilities of Cadara and Shaihulud, without the submarine restriction. Hopefully the following clears it up.

Leviathan
A game piece with this keyword is a Sea Creature.

Leviathans have 7 segments (six claws, one head); however L…[Read more]

The fifth version of Leviathan! Some wording has been changed to hopefully make things more clear, along with changing when a leviathan can ram an opposing ship.
