Way to go Wizkids!

I bought a... ur, "ship"load of Spanish Main. About as much Crimson Coast and Revolution.

Barbary Coast less than 10 packs. Jade less than that. Davy Jones... only about 5.

It's just failing to keep my attention. I love the game. But their ever lovin' desire to keep pumping shite out is astounding!

They need to make a companion game about the pirates themselves ala Hero or Horror clix.

The thing I don't like about the new sets is the high point cost of crew and ships. Two Sea Monsters and a 40 point build total is done. Also many of the new rules/ abilities are very confusing. The super board ability with both ship and crew, etc "board w'n S".

Ah, well, I don't pay too much attention to the Wizkid rules! They be more like "guidelines" if you know what I mean.

I just like playing with the little boats. 6 packs Spanish Main, 3 packs Davy Jones, scissors and glue and lots imagination -- and I've got a fleet large enough for a tableful of people to play happily!

I've added all sorts of my own crew (including mermaids, vampires, and rock stars), terrain (sunken treasure ships, siren's rocks, tidal islands) and associated rules.

Of course, rum or Corona seems to be a must for playing the game my way.

Hmmm... "Frozen North" ... geez, I'm Canadian. Not much scope for fantasy there!

Cheers, Hester

Aye!

We play we a mast is lost, that's one sip of your favoite adult beverage; when your ship sinks, you must finish it. And a roll of "6", is a social. :lol: God forbid you pick up "Rum" as the unique treasure. That means you are "bartender" for the game. It's quite a fun drinking game.

Errr...we haven't really finished a game yet though. :lol:
