    I think if one divorces oneself from historical, technical, tactical accurateness and complexity, and simply looks at this game as a fun game somewhat akin to checkers, but with an Age-of-Sail theme, this could be very enjoyable. It looks like the kind of game that can be played with folks of all ages. I will probably pick it up for game nights or for something to do with my wife or a friend for an hour or two when neither of us are in the mood for complexity.

    The video is very informative.

    Marco is one of my favorite reviewers:

    ok, that is what I`m thinking . A game with the Age of Sail theme to play with anyone.
    Thanks for the link.

    Marco's reviews are always worth the time watching. He presents the important information folks look for in reviews, and his passion is a bit contagious. He has closed the sale on several games for me.
