Me and my girlfriend have been having great fun playing with a variation we thought up, where in a 2 player game you change the rules of the ghost ship and add "Battleship" rules instead... Each take a photo of the board and mark 4 trap spaces of the map (Not treasure spaces) with the edit photo feature on your phone and use the draw tool to mark them on the picture. Now when your opponent lands on one of your trap spaces, bring in the ghost ship and attack them as usual. Only move the ship when a trap is triggered. It gives lots more combat opportunities and removes all of the tedious ghost ship movement while adding so much more fun with the traps and bluffing people into them. We also remove all of the overpowered treasure cards and most curse cards too, just keep the extra "Hold" and all of the highest scoring "Victory Point" treasures thereafter. If playing with the expansion (which I do not own yet) I will probably just put all the highest victory point treasures in to the 2 player games and that way it makes it way more worthwhile to stop rather than just rushing to the finish. Honestly, try this out. You will not be disappointed. I could really do with printing out some board cards and then if laminated you could use a marker or maybe even print it on metal and use magnetic X's to mark the spots... Enjoy ;-)

There is logic to this, If you get cargo its not open its in a crate you can only put a crate in a cargo space if your pillaging at sea you choose quickly (its a race) to keep what you have or get the new stuff

any time you get cargo it goes into a empty container if all are full you can dump one and put new cargo in. This is regardless of quantity

I think the only thing that is annoying is the rules they are written well and are an awesome treasure map style but its on a giant folded sheet and if you want to reference it you have to unfold and open it and ughhhh.

so, are you not able to put all the food you acquire in one hold? For ex. if I have food in the 1st hold slot, & then I later get more food, do I have to put that extra food into slot #2, or am I able to put that extra food into the 1st hold slot again (with the other food)?

Excellent review! I had been hearing about this game for a long while, but never really understood how it played until now. Unfortunately, I wish you reviewed it earlier in the Summer when it was still available so you could have convinced me to buy it. It's sadly impossible to find now. :(

The art is amazing, but it doesn't make sense that you HAVE to take a treasure and get rid of something else, if your hold is full. Sometimes we ignore logic in games, but I would appreciate some more sensible rules.

This game was really random and not a lot of fun at all. I didn't happen to enjoy that combat can be "auto won" by the attacker just making a lucky roll. It made all the black powder I had stacked up feel rather useless and unimportant. At least it's really popular and easy to trade away.

+Daniel Gallagher I agree, bought it, played it twice and it will probably never hit the table again. The only positive for this game is the artwork. The game mechanics are horrible.... can't afford where you landed? Pay what you can and move backwards to the first spot that you can afford. Did a 6 year old design this game? Anyone want to buy my copy? Like new (cause it is).
