Description
The archaic empire of Atlantis has risen from its watery grave! Its rugged shores and ancient monoliths are no longer bound to the cold, crushing depths. The Atlanteans have assembled a coalition of Grecian warlords still bound to the ways of the lost empire, rallying together under one banner. They have amassed fleets of vessels akin to the days of old, but outfitted with new weapons to challenge the current powers of the seven seas.

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: For Ages 16+! 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.
-Some cards may have laser burn (scorch marks) on them. The laser burning affects some of the artwork in a negative way on the edges, seen if you look closely.
-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.
-A few pieces may be held in the card with tape after falling out during laser cutting and post processing.
-Thoughtful design: While these game pieces have not been playtested, they were carefully selected 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 “nubs” (ex: the tops and bottoms of masts). Pushing in the middle area may result in bending or breakage.
-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.
Speedy shipping: Most orders ship on the same or next day! (some Friday and Saturday orders usually ship Monday)
Material: .04″ white styrene with latex ink. The high-quality ink doesn’t scratch or flake!

This set is pretty freaking awesome. My crew has run a few games with the pieces (as a whole faction, piecemeal for a small 40 point game, DND style thematic, etc), and they feel like they should have been a part of the original game. The artwork is wonderful, and outside of a few nitpicks from how the laser cutting warps the edges, the build quality is wonderful!

Seriously cool new stuff not just the new faction which fits perfectly in the maritime theming of the game but also multiple new ship types!! What’s not to love

A great addition to the card game with interesting new ship types! Can’t wait for the next releases for this set!

A welcome addition to a great game! The pieces are high-quality, and putting them together is fairly easy. As with the original run of the game, there is some pressure you have to apply to slot the masts into their positions on deck, but using the corner of a card to pre-press those slots makes the process very easy.
The ships themselves are fun to play with, and the thematic set makes for a fun time! My friends and I have played a number of games with these, and they’re a welcome & balanced addition to the game. Excited for what comes next!

Ben’s pieces are the best recreations available since the game went out of official production. We see it again here with cool art, very unique ship types, and my personal favorite: cards that don’t scrape the ink off. I’d highly recommend it to anybody who is interested in revitalizing their games.

I felt like a kid again when putting these ships together. Thank you for keeping the game alive!
