William Brand Posted February 6, 2005 Posted February 6, 2005 PLUNDER! What better name for a Pyrate Game? I went to a con this last week and ran into my old friend Kevin from Laughing Pan. I didn't even know he was working on a pyrate game. Sheesh. It is a very slick setup with a very compact game box. It is stylish, inventive and it comes with some very slick cards, maps and play pieces. I highly recommend it.
Rumba Rue Posted February 6, 2005 Posted February 6, 2005 Two questions: It seems to have lots of parts, how easy is it to play? How much does it cost? Rumba Rue ** **
William Brand Posted February 7, 2005 Author Posted February 7, 2005 First. I totally placed this in the wrong thread!!!! This should be in Plunder. I'm soooo stupid. Second. The parts are all very cool. Little coins, boats, ports etc. I believe the cost is around thirty, but don't quote me. I'm preordering my copy later this week. I just got to see an advanced copy and it is wonderfully thought out. You buy and sell or pyrate in all sorts of trade materials. Wood, cloth, etc. Some is obtained by pyracy, some by war, some by privateering (see pyracy). Then you try and reach ports which offer the best value for the goods. This is of course influenced by wars and other pyrates. Oh yes. Very nice game for a few players looking to get some ARRRRing in. And... And... ...it all fits into that little treasure chest box. How cool is that?
blackjohn Posted February 7, 2005 Posted February 7, 2005 First. I totally placed this in the wrong thread!!!! This should be in Plunder. I'm soooo stupid. No you didn't. I moved it to Pirate Pop, since it is a game and that's one of the things listed as being appropriate to Pirate Pop... :) My Home on the Web The Pirate Brethren Gallery Dreams are the glue that holds reality together.
JoshuaRed Posted February 7, 2005 Posted February 7, 2005 Wow neat parlor trick, John! Do it again! Move more stuff around!
blackjohn Posted February 7, 2005 Posted February 7, 2005 okay... I do take requests, but only in PLUNDER... and I don't like to abuse my powers... :) My Home on the Web The Pirate Brethren Gallery Dreams are the glue that holds reality together.
blackjohn Posted February 7, 2005 Posted February 7, 2005 Actually, this looks like it might be alot of fun. One of my favorite board games, Avalon Hill's Civilization, had a trade aspect to it. Players would strike up deals with other players to trade various goods, and in so doing one could pawn off a calamity onto another player, adding a (fun) element of risk to each transaction. If this is anything like that, it would probably be a blast. My Home on the Web The Pirate Brethren Gallery Dreams are the glue that holds reality together.
JoshuaRed Posted February 7, 2005 Posted February 7, 2005 John, you ever play AH's Blackbeard? I always enjoyed that game. It had one aspect that no other pirate game has - the possibility of your character losing limbs!
