Hi Steve. I believe I do. I will check this morning and let you know.
Are they scanned anywhere?
I'd be interested in buying a set too.
Due to copyright and the desire to support Ares, we don't allow uploading scans of decks. If you're ever bored or unable to sleep, you can spend an hour or two reading through threads about card decks or copyright issues on the Aerodrome. :wink:
I just checked BGG. They were available there before, but I do not see them anymore.
One suggestion would be to look at the rules, and then either make a set based on the rules or use a regular playing card deck with a sheet explaining the substitutes.
Another option is to custom make a deck with one's own captain/crew abilities.
You can find the text of the cards and the rules here: http://www.aresgames.eu/11275
Except that there's a symbol explained that you can't connect to which card should have it.
Good question.
I will kibitz with Keith about it. We have been discussing copyright issues the past couple of days. Ares is fine with the use of certain images or items when used in certain ways. I, still, am not always sure what constitutes a violation. I know providing scans of complete decks is problematic because we have had many discussions about it on the 'Drome.
Per Roberto at Ares a while back in personal correspondence, they do plan to have the deck available again later as part of a future product. I think they're already thinking "Rules & Accessories Pack"... but don't hold me to that, it's just a best guess based on what they've done with other mini lines and what I'd be doing in their position.
Of course it is Ares' intellectual property, so ultimately if they say "cease and desist" then that is the right thing to do. But as a practical matter, for this kind of game, I think almost anything that is posted online can only help, rather than hurt, sales. At worst maybe they lose out on selling a few $5 packs of cards, at some unknown point in the future when they are available for purchase. But its more likely that it gets a few people incrementally more excited about the game (since it offers a few more play options as well as more friendly, open-platform feel), and Ares ends up selling more product and right away.
Ares must understand this at some level, or they wouldn't have posted the PDF...
any luck eric?
ebay
$14 instead of $96 and you get counters too. Pity the shipping is $42.87 to Sweden.
Väldigt gärna. :happy:
Då kan jag göra egna också!
Linköping, men jag har familj i Stockholm så jag passerar ibland.
I wouldn't mind acquiring some of these myself if anyone has some spare or knows a source... :question:
I have a set of cards brand new and unopened going spare if you still need a set, before I put them on ebay
Otherwise I would like to buy them, if it's not too expensive. :moneygone:
(Och ja, jag är fortfarande intresserad av dina.)
I am looking for a set also. Anyone in America have one I could buy from them? Also do we know if Ares plans on printing more? I can confidently say I won't be paying 96 dollars for them. Should have bought them in December when I saw them for less than 10 dollars.
I know that Ares have said that they intend to print them again in some form. Those are not exclusive kickstarter items as four ships were. When that will happen on the other hand...
I just hope they don't have to go anywhere near the Port of Los Angeles.
I have one I'll let go for $10 plus actual shipping:beer:
I'm not sure how much shipping is nowadays cross the pond. I seams to have increased by five times in the last ten years or so.
If that one in Scotland isn't very expensive I should probably get that one and leave yours to someone stateside. I just hope I wont be left without... :shock:
I hope Ares reprints these soon; as new folks enter the world of SoG, items like this will be desired, as evidenced on the secondary market.
PM sent! :beer:
Jonas, your cards were shipped today, let me know when you receive them:beer:
Thank you very much! :drinks:
I will! :salute:
Gunner, I got them today. Thanks! :happy:
It is. Much better than it usually is, probably due to passing as a "letter". I have a package from the Anchorage passing two weeks about now.
Just be thankful that the package doesn't have to be handled by ILWU workers.
Is this referring to the Captain & Crew Ability cards that were available on BoardGameGeek as a promo item for around $10, about 2-3 months after Starter Set release...?
If so, I have several unopened decks.
[Not that I was hoarding for future gold, but was going to card sleeve one deck, attempt to laminate another, and keep one original - therefore got several extra in case I screwed 'em up, but...successfully done for all 3].
So...I have 3 extra decks *unopened*.
Just wondering.
