POTC CCG

[BuxomAnnieScarlet]

I really, really, REALLY want the new Pirates of the Caribbean Collectible Card Game. However, I has me a bad habbit o' collectin' things I don't need. So my question is this: does any o' you have it yerselves, and if so, what's yer opinion o' the gameplay? Is it worth the $15 or so my local comic purveyor is askin' fer it?

Are ya talkin' about the Trading Card Game by Quickstrike/Upper deck?

I have it. Haven't played it. Yet. My nephew has looked it over and says it's more like playing YuGiOh or something along those lines.

My husband's always complainin' that I aquire card games an' don't play 'em - so I'm hopin' this'll be one I will!

Too cartoony. Artwork is lacking.

If you want to play a good pirate CCG, try strat with Pirates of the Spanish Main. But the latest set to come out is Pirates of Davy Jones' Curse.

7th Sea is better

[Phillip Black]

Is 7th Sea a card game? I thought it was an RPG...in which case I'd recommend Skull & Bones by Green Ronin.

I also recommend Wizkids Pirates of the Spanish Main..The Davy Jones' Curse set is a fun one, with sea monsters and Davey Jones.

:) i paly the card game massively!!!! and by the way my name is well you will see! but yeah it is worht the money,but i also play the constructible strategy game more.

Wow, talk about a Blast From The Past Reis!

Yes, 7th Sea was a CCG and a Roleplaying game at the same time. I only collected the CCG, while I am proud to say I own every 7th Sea book released.

Skull & Bones is a crappy d20 supplement not worth the paper it's printed on. Get it only if the store has it like 50% off or more. No d20 game captures piracy well at all

I have the PotC CCG (starter plus 3 boosters) -- unopened, waiting for me at my cottage. I wanted to wait until I saw the movie before playing the game. [PotC Monopoly ditto.]

I have numerous 7th sea decks as well (a few still unopened). Took me awhile to get the hang of the boarding procedures, but I've got it sussed now. I do prefer the artwork on these to the PotC cards.

And I have PotSM too -- that's my fave so far! The tiny little 3-D ships are a hoot! Plus, it's so easy to customize it with your own additions. I've added mermaids, sunken treasure and gender-specific rules about transporting rum & gin (which count as booty).

eBay is so dangerous! That's why my score was so low on Phil's Tao test.

Cheers, Hester ... covet, collect, covet, collect, covet...
