We shouldn't speak authoritatively based on our own personal taste what the product line should offer to the whole public. I don't give a hoot about Spanish ships, but others who will buy do care. ...

ANYTHING is better than the prequels. That's a pretty low bar to jump.

I got my set to run at conventions, hopefully with lots of people. I expected people to screw up and mix cards with neighbors. I have small boxes they keep cards in when through plotting to...

Every counter set comes with a leftover blank counter. Just use that one counter to represent allocating crew to firing chasers. Doesn't matter which chasers.

I used some captain & crew cards for my pirates in the fog bank game. The one time quick broadside reload and they get to re-draw one blank in boarding. This makes them a little more Hollywood...

That term doesn't drive me as nuts as "clan" does, but it is annoying.
I can remember playing WW II first person shooters and people asking about each other's clan. The only thing that would...

After a few attendance misfires, I got a good sized group and ran this at Mag-Con a few months back. It worked out pretty well and as intended. I also let the players have a a few shoals they could...

My anti-virus software went off and blocked a phishing link when I went to one of the product links on this page.

I'd actually looked around for something that looked like an old sea chart and didn't find anything.

Chain shot is definitely a better choice than grapeshot.

The red cards are the most fun of all.

Gotta disagree with your assessment of double shot. Unless you're facing enemy on both sides of your ship, one broadside is less taxed for immediate results than the other. You can either go in...

Many modern computer games require you to log into their internet site to play. I refuse to play those games.

It's a shame nobody knows who that Chinese guy is. He's got the the symbolic biggest balls in history.

Oh...so YOU were the bastard that outbid me at $1.4 million!

The incredible humor of this has just made my day.

Actually the pirate has (4) monsters, but he can't use them all at once. I put this game on Sunday because Sunday was thin on action and also so it wouldn't be on the same day as the other Sailing...

FM-182 Fog Fight on the High Seas

The French & the British are at war. A pirate has...

February 14th. The day of love!

There are two hurdles I think you will need to overcome for this to succeed.
#1) This game does not lend itself well to one person running more than 2 maybe 3 ships tops. 2-3 ships is incredibly...

I kind of like the Poseidon motif idea.

Here's a different design concept:

I had a similar idea last year. It specifically did NOT have a way to deposit coin. The more coin you had, the more juicier of a target you were for everyone around you. This concept also involved...

Well...kinda. That was at a small sci-fi convention. The centerpiece of the convention was that pretty much the entire major cast of a small production movie called Star Trek: Axanar was there. ...

I'm probably going to set it up as the fog bank game with a pirate popping up in the middle and then have the pirate controlling the sea monsters as a distraction for him to escape. I still need to...
