Diosa De Cancion Posted September 8, 2004 Posted September 8, 2004 Anyone else out there sitting around with a stack of extra cards from WizKids Pirates of the Spanish Main that they would be interested in trading? I have quite a few extras and of course some items I would like, so if anyone else wants to do a little trading to get more broad sets, let me know and I'll post my list of wants/have extras :) Diosa Diosa De Cancion aka Mary Read www.iammaryread.com
LadyBarbossa Posted September 9, 2004 Posted September 9, 2004 M'dear... I STILL haven't been able to get ahold of any cards! It's getting rather silly to the point I have been waiting for a pack since July.. & the damn store won't get them in yet. They can't seem to get ahold of more boxes! They keep selling out, so they tell me. I'm not the only one here trying to get ahold of them. ::le sigh:: Enjoying them? I won't order online. I just don't like to... long story... Tempt Fate! an' toss 't all t' Hell!" "I'm completely innocent of whatever crime I've committed." The one, the only,... the infamous!
Diosa De Cancion Posted September 9, 2004 Author Posted September 9, 2004 At the least, the cards are very well done, and I love the fact that instead of being stuck with a bunch of ships and 3-d objects to try and pack up, they can all break down and go back into the cards from whence they came for travel... the game seems to have enough layers of actions to make it interesting... we'll see about the longevity of interest. I'll let ya know! :) Diosa Diosa De Cancion aka Mary Read www.iammaryread.com
Stynky Tudor Posted September 10, 2004 Posted September 10, 2004 Aye, me too. I've been on the look out for them meself. Every card shop I've been to, either regrets thinking they wouldn't sell or are just sold out. In either case they all wish they had 'em in stock.
LadyBarbossa Posted September 10, 2004 Posted September 10, 2004 Yeah.... depressing in a way, isn't it? Stynky? I hope it does well. A couple friends of mine were excited about it until they found it too difficult to get ahold of it & now finding they won't have time for it. Let's hope we can get ahold of it soon enough. Tempt Fate! an' toss 't all t' Hell!" "I'm completely innocent of whatever crime I've committed." The one, the only,... the infamous!
Diosa De Cancion Posted September 15, 2004 Author Posted September 15, 2004 I have heard shops should start getting more of the cards beginning late this week, so I would advise if you have a shop near you that may be getting them, to put your name on their list!!! I would like to see enough people get ahold of them and then have a little mini-tournament at Pirates in Paradise in December. Diosa Diosa De Cancion aka Mary Read www.iammaryread.com
LadyBarbossa Posted September 15, 2004 Posted September 15, 2004 Aye... I 've done that 3 times since July. They still act like complete dimwits & ocean sludge about the card game, let alone clueless on contacting me. Would be cool.... but bloody hell if I know that such a thing will happen. Especially here. Tempt Fate! an' toss 't all t' Hell!" "I'm completely innocent of whatever crime I've committed." The one, the only,... the infamous!
PyratePhil Posted September 16, 2004 Posted September 16, 2004 Same here in PA... Go to a gaming store...you know, one of those places that supposedly make a LIVING out of knowing about the latest card games and such... Oh, sure, they can talk for hours about Magic decks or Yu-Gi-Oh, but Pyrates??? (Insert stunned-cow expression here) "I never heard of them"..."Oh, that wouldn't sell here"...they're called WHAT?"... And just try to buy them online from places like eBay - they gouge you royally. Like my son has advised me, I'll just bide my time...sooner or later, people will move on to something else, and I'll pick up a U-Haul box full of Pyrate cards for $5. ...Qui desiderat pacem, praeparet bellum... ~ Vegetius
Patrick Hand Posted September 16, 2004 Posted September 16, 2004 Is there a web site for this game? and has anyone played it......... A freind and I got a deck and some boster packs for "7th Sea".... played it once, (Capt Reis and the Crimson Roger blasted the snot outta his undead crew) so we never played again...... I had the same problem with the Star Trek card game..... the Klingons would blow up all the Feddi ships and then thier homeworld..... no one wanted to play that one eaither...... I don't want to hunt for another card game, to only play once or twice......
LadyBarbossa Posted September 16, 2004 Posted September 16, 2004 Lemme see if I can find it again. I'm on a different comp at this time.. but I had posted about the card game & a link to the manufacturer over a month ago... :: runs off to attempt to find it:: I posted it here on the Pub, here under Pirate Pop. Ahhh.. ok.. here it is.. Pirates of the Spanish Main card game Tempt Fate! an' toss 't all t' Hell!" "I'm completely innocent of whatever crime I've committed." The one, the only,... the infamous!
Rigger McKnotty Posted September 17, 2004 Posted September 17, 2004 OY, my local gaming store just got more in so go look in your area.
Stynky Tudor Posted September 18, 2004 Posted September 18, 2004 . . .depressing in a way, isn't it? Stynky? . . . Aye it tis, it tis. . .
Patrick Hand Posted September 19, 2004 Posted September 19, 2004 Went to thier site, and downloaded the rules (thanks for the link Lady Barbossa) so I'll read them and see (or kinda guess) it they are any good... unfortunatly if they do sound good.... the next problem is getting a deck and finding someone to play.......
Patrick Hand Posted September 20, 2004 Posted September 20, 2004 I read the rules this afternoon.... It looks like a simple minature wargame. Steve Jackson's lego's pirate game has much more detail (I have to figure how to convert it to something other than lego's tho......) and it's free ....
Redd Oktober Posted October 7, 2004 Posted October 7, 2004 My superiors here at work got me some of these cute little gems. They be absolutely adorable. Now...if'n only some o these lubbers be willin' ter play wit me o'er here! YARRR! The Oktober be silent now! Just call me "REDD!"
Diosa De Cancion Posted October 7, 2004 Author Posted October 7, 2004 Yes, Redd, I agree, they are totally adorable!!! I know that I am working on getting folks together to play at PIP in Key West in December. It is hard to find a lot of folks in an area to play though. Diosa De Cancion aka Mary Read www.iammaryread.com
Redd Oktober Posted October 8, 2004 Posted October 8, 2004 Aye, tis true. When I usualy get me mates tergether...it's either fer pirate paintball or cuthroat poker! YARRR! The Oktober be silent now! Just call me "REDD!"
John_Young Posted October 11, 2004 Posted October 11, 2004 Goddess... you have a hard time finding players? Orlando area right? SciFi City over in Oveido/Altamonte.

Captain_MacNamara Posted October 12, 2004 Posted October 12, 2004 I still can't find any cards... it's like the guy orders them 3 packs at a time or something so that he'll be constantly sold out... Captain of the Iron Lotus It is the angle that holds the rope, not the size of the hole.
blackjohn Posted June 6, 2005 Posted June 6, 2005 A friend and I just finished playing for the first time. What a blast!!! As for availability, I guess the initial furor has died down, because they were really easy to find. Anyone want to do some trading of spares/extras??? My Home on the Web The Pirate Brethren Gallery Dreams are the glue that holds reality together.
Red Maria Posted June 6, 2005 Posted June 6, 2005 The head of the Education Department here gave me of of the packets. I haven't had a chance to put the stuff togehter let alone play . It's right cute though. :)
Zath Chauvert Posted June 27, 2005 Posted June 27, 2005 Suddenly these things are appearing all over the place. I know for certain that I've seen them at Rite-Aid and Wegmans, and I think that I might have seen them at Target too. Unfortunately, I have neither the time to play such games nor anyone to play against if I ever found the time. Can anyone tell me if the cards are worth $3 per pack just on the basis of their mini piratical artwork? Or should they only be bought by people who actually intend to use them?
Tudor MercWench Smith Posted July 27, 2005 Posted July 27, 2005 I'm addicted to these things. When i bought my first pack, the lady at the register was like "oh, honey, don't waste your money. Those things are like heroine - you always need more!" Oh so true. I haven't actually played the game yet, but it's worth the money alone just to have little ships to sit on my book shelf and look cute!
blackjohn Posted July 27, 2005 Posted July 27, 2005 Me too, though I'm lucky enough to have some co-workers who are fellow gamers. We've played about 10 times. And it is quick and easy enough to finish up a game during lunch. The problem is... they are all out on travel, so I'm going through withdrawals!!! Which means I have to buy more to satisfy my urge!!! No... it's not an addiction. So Merc, have any dups you want to trade??? I have a couple duplicate pirate ships, and a few Spaniards too.

William Blydes Posted July 27, 2005 Posted July 27, 2005 It's a great game for sure!!!! My friends and I play it as a rum and tack game Wizkids are on the 2nd expansion but still no Dutch! Started off with Brits and Pirates which made sense. But then the French which wasn't all that bad. What's with Americans? The Dutch were the first in the Carrib! I guess you have to sell to your audience, no mater the accuracy William Blydes I don't get lost, I EXPLORE! Adventures on the High Seas (refitted and back on station!)
