Disclaimers:
-This product is not affiliated with Wizkids. This is your chance to support a new company that is making the product in the USA!
-Health hazards: Styrene is a possible human carcinogen; do not inhale it. Recommend washing hands and cleaning up area after building the ships. Punching pieces out of the cards can be messy – it’s best to clean up the styrene dust after handling.
-The laser cutting can distort the artwork slightly, seen if you look closely. Some cards may have laser scorch marks on them, which can actually look cool as battle damage.
-There may be some areas where the cuts are more jagged.
-Some of the artwork may be slightly misaligned from front to back, due to the difficulty of aligning both the print jobs and the cut process.
-Some cards might be missing pennants, but there should be enough pennants for all the ships.
-A few pieces may be held in the card with tape after falling out during laser cutting and post processing.
-Crew artwork made with Adobe Firefly.
-Some rarity corners may have slightly different color variants, due to there being multiple artwork designers and thousands of file edits.
Tips for constructing your new fleet:
-Thicker plastic=More durability! My styrene is a bit thicker than the plastic used for the original cards, but please be patient when building the ships – they can be fragile.
-When punching out the pieces, it’s best to push on the areas near where they are connected to the card via tabs (ex: the top and bottom of masts).
-There may be discrepancies on slot tolerances – the ships should construct well as shown in the pictures, but results may vary. Some slots may have small extra bits of styrene that must be removed in order to fit the pieces together.
-Best to leave ships constructed – due to the laser burning away material, they generally don’t go back into the cards well.
-Recommended to insert some parts in isolation to test fit before building a ship in full (especially for masts that go into smaller decks, such as the quarterdecks and forecastles of the larger ships).
These game pieces were carefully crafted and edited using a combination of Ben’s extreme experience (593 PCSG games played, including 10+ playtesting games for Golden Seas) and guidance from four different point-costing systems.
Speedy shipping: Most orders ship on the same or next day! (some Friday-Sunday orders ship on Monday)

Absolutely incredible! The feeling of holding new pirates pieces in my hands again after all these years is indescribable. The quality is amazing. The finish feels durable and scratch-resistant. This set has brought me so much joy already.

The faction pack arrived well within the expected delivery date, and was very well packaged. It was a very enjoyable surreal experience to hold and punch out new pirates cards again. I certainly look forward to using these pieces, and hope to buy more like them in the future as they are released.
As they are test runs, there are a few small issues, but nothing unexpected for a prototype. Mostly just loose/wobbly mast connections, and the fort did not include enough wall segments to construct. But the positives of brand new pieces vastly outweigh the drawbacks, especially knowing that the production process is always being improved upon. This is an exciting preview of what’s to come, and I can’t wait to see where it goes from here. Would happily purchase other faction packs from this, or other sets, as they become available over time.
