I really like this game. The issue I have like a lot of sandbox games is that you can do different things but one is much more optimal than the others. In this case being a goody two shoes lol and just trading goods is the easiest way to win. I would cap the points for money in your chest at 3 and put out one or two more missions in a game.

[3 plays] Excellent pirate atmosphere, anything you want from a pirate: trade, fights, ships, upgrades, cannons, missions, rumours, treasures, money. Maybe the best pirate-themes game ever and a game I always want to play. Components are great!

My biggest recent disappointment. On the surface, this game has everything. The theme is awesome, you really feel like you're piloting the ship in the Caribbean sea, plundering left and right, stashing money, meeting interesting people, and generating glory. But then you realize that you need to roll a die and "see if you succeed" for most of what's happening throughout the game. That is a deal breaker for me. The game lasts too long and is too beautiful to be determined by dice on every step of the way. Yes, there are mitigating factors, but they are not very powerful. I like my random to be input, not output. Sadly, this game is just a radnomfest.
