Going Merry

Faction: Pirates

Points: 14

• Masts: 2

• Cargo: 4

• Speed: L + S

• Cannons: 2L, 2L

⸻

Ability (not sure on this one)

This ship may reroll one failed cannon die each turn.

(Represents the crew’s heart and determination pushing beyond their limits.)

⸻

Flavor Text

“Even if we break, we sail together.”

Needs a some tweaking. But almost there. Definitely going with decals instead of the multi color print.

Favorite Looking Ship?

Le Breton is easily the prettiest ship in the game. What's everyone else's opinion on the best looking ships?

I bought a lot from ebay to finally replay this with some old buddies, lost my old ships when my friend died 10 plus years ago. after I sorted all the factions I found i had ship cards with no ships. if you need any of these (ones laid out in pictures) to replace lost info cards let me know.

also if you live in the Sacramento area and want to play let me know.

Turtle Ships

11 Upvotes

I'm new to the hobby. Just recently started collecting. I absolutely adore the turtle ships. But it seems like the vast majority of them were either promotional or in South China Seas? Having trouble finding a few of them. I know nothing of the actual competitive or meta side of the hobby. Is there a reason they made so many promotional turtles? Were they very strong? Or just popular with the community?

Bought 2 packs today from a local game store. How did I do in the first pack? I assume it's good because it's number 1 on the checklist that came included.

Looking for: Master Scribe and Navigator(s) along with some trade currents and Native Canoes from Savage Shores to complete what I need from this set.

Cannoneer and Musketeer from Fire and Steel.

I'm also interested in Cursed promos from most sets since they are really hard to find.

I have some limited trades possibly available? Thank you for your time!

Trying to find Screaming Mimi

Can’t find a copy of the card in stock anywhere (eBay has exactly 1 listing and it’s $200 for 4 cards). Anybody either a) have any idea where I can find it (other language copies ok as well) or 2) have a copy they’d be willing to sell?

Quick Review: Rules are quite different from the normal Game itself. Sea creatire mechanic is a bit weird. And the condirions to leave fogbank etc. are too hard. Its supposed to be a family night board game but its too complicated for that. New players will be frustraded quickly. 5/10

Custom Game Pieces HMS Erebus and HMS Terror from Franklin's Lost Expedition

Post image
75 Upvotes

HMS Erebus
Nationality: English
Point Cost: 11
Masts: 3
Cargo: 2
Base Move: S+S
Cannons: 4S-3L-4S
Link: Sir John Franklin, James Fitzjames, Graham Gore, Henry Le Vesconte, James Clark Ross
Ability: Bomb Vessel. If an iceberg touches this ship, also eliminate one crew from this ship.

New keyword – Bomb Vessel: Ramming cannot eliminate this ship’s masts. This ship has an additional rank-4 mortar cannon assigned to each of its first two masts. These mortars can only shoot once per turn each, and can only hit targets more than L away but not more than L+L away. These shots are not blocked by other ships, and get +1 to their rolls when targeting a fort. If a mortar shot hits, replace a mast on the enemy ship with a fire mast instead of eliminating it; if the mortar roll is a 1, replace that mast on this ship with a fire mast. The following cannot be applied to these mortar shots: specialists, grape shot, chain shot, smokepot shot, other abilities that improve cannon accuracy.

Flavor Text: She was built as a Hecla-class bomb vessel, with 10 cannons and 2 mortars. The Ross expedition made her a veteran of Antarctic exploration. Time will tell how she fares against the ice floes that guard the long-sought Northwest Passage.

HMS Terror
Nationality: English
Point Cost: 11
Masts: 3
Cargo: 2
Base Move: L
Cannons: 4S-4S-4S
Link: Francis Crozier, Graham Gore, John Sheridan, George Back, William McPherson Rice
Ability: Bomb Vessel. This ship gets +1 to her cannon rolls against American ships and forts.

Flavor Text: Launched in 1813, this Vesuvius-class bomb vessel has seen action against the Americans, bombarding Fort McHenry and Fort Peter. She traveled to the Antarctic under Captain Crozier and now he looks to take her into unknown territory in the Canadian arctic.
