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.
-Crew artwork made with Adobe Firefly.
-Thoughtful design: These game pieces have not been playtested, but they were carefully crafted and edited using a combination of Ben’s extreme experience (593 PCSG games played!) and guidance from four different point-costing systems.

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.

Pirates of the Epic Seas is a massive custom fantasy set made by Ben, the game’s most passionate fan.  These five game pieces were carefully selected and created as a preview of what could be to come….

Each ship and creature features brand-new custom artwork fashioned over many hours of graphic design and editing.

• Berzerker is the wild and chaotic flagship of the bunch, captained by a vicious Overlord whose ambitions know no bounds.
• Pyrannus is the first hydra ever released for Pirates CSG – a fire-breathing monstrosity straight from your opponent’s worst nightmares!
• Mastaba represents what The Cursed are capable of: using their unnatural powers to raise mummies from Egyptian tombs!

Credit to AndrewprintsPirates for the Hydra model! (Modified slightly for simplicity and fit)

Speedy shipping: Most orders ship on the same or next day! (some Friday-Sunday orders ship on Monday)

Material: .04″ white styrene with latex or UV ink. The high-quality ink doesn’t scratch or flake!

Custom Game Pieces:

Berzerker
Nationality: Cursed
Point Cost: 33
Masts: 10
Cargo: 5
Base Move: L
Cannons: 4L-3L-2S-2S-2S-3L-3L-4L-4S-4S
Link: Berserk Overlord
Ability: Junk. As part of a move action, this ship can initiate a boarding party against a ship up to S away from her, without having to ram; the boarded ship can’t use any boarding bonuses. You may double the range of any of this ship’s cannons each action, but if you do, that cannon must roll a 6 to hit. If this ship shoots at more than one ship during her turn, she gets +1 to her cannon rolls against any ship after the first.
Flavor Text: Some say the Berzerker would cause devastation and chaos without a single member of her crew aboard. To regular sailors, it seems as though the ship is possessed to seek and destroy. Rumors abound that the vessel is actually a terrible dragon from a mythical age brought back to life in ship form by Xenthalos himself.

Berserk Overlord
Nationality: Cursed
Point Cost: 9
Link: Berzerker
Ability: Once per turn, roll a d6. On a 1, you may give any ship in your fleet +S to her base move this turn. On a 2, you may give any ship in your fleet +L to her base move this turn. On a 3, you may give any ship in your fleet +1 to her cannon rolls this turn. On a 4, you may give this ship the same action twice. On a 5, you may give any ship in your fleet an extra action. On a 6, you may give an enemy ship an action.
Flavor Text: Occasionally mistaken for Doragon the Magnificent, the Berserk Overlord can shift into his dragon form at will. He was born in Hell, and has now risen from the depths of ocean trenches to command Cursed legions.

Pyrannus
Nationality: Cursed
Point Cost: 18
Masts: 6
Cargo: 0
Base Move: L
Cannons: 4L-3S-2S-3S-4L-3L (heads from left to right, tail at the end)
Ability: Sea Monster. Hydra. Any of this sea creature’s S-range cannons may shoot fire shots; if they do and those cannons hit, replace enemy masts with fire masts instead of eliminating them.
Hydra: A hydra is a type of sea monster. The following abilities are specific to hydras and override the Sea Monster keyword: Measure a hydra’s movement from the middle head slot on its base. Hydras may move and shoot using the same move action. A hydra may be given repair actions at sea or at any island, including while it is submerged.
Flavor Text: This infernal creature’s hellish flames burn ships to their waterline. As the legend of his terror grows, so too does the fearmongering across the seas….

Mastaba
Nationality: Cursed
Point Cost: 8
Masts: 1
Cargo: 2
Base Move: S+S
Cannons: 4S
Link: Curse of Amn
Ability: Eternal. Once per turn you may choose 1 non-Cursed ship within S of this ship; that ship gets -1 to her d6 rolls this turn.
Flavor Text: To earn the ire of the mummy is to gaze directly on one’s mortality.

Curse of Amn
Nationality: Cursed
Point Cost: 6
Link: Mastaba
Ability: Fear. Once per turn you may cancel the ability of one crew within S of this ship.
Flavor Text: Shock and horror consume those who have looked upon this mummy. Those who have heard the legend dare not look, for a fate worse than Medusa’s punishment awaits them….
