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.

I so want to love this game... Pros: - pirates! - beautiful board and components - multiple ways to earn points and multiple paths to victory but only if playing with aggressive players - nice thematic touches with rumour cards and missions - the sense of dread when NPCs or other players are coming for you and you are holding a full load of great cargo (but again only if other players are aggressive) Cons: - absolutely need the right group of players (aggressive, tactically minded, prone to quick analyses, and fun) - sometimes has very low decision making and too much time between turns leading to a feeling of a slow playing game (this is particularly frustrating for me) - playing the merchant can become very boring if the pirates are not aggressive, as the pick up and deliver aspect has little decision making in itself

Like new. Cards sealed and punchboards unpunched. +1 big ship(galleon). 4 players aids is normal instead of 2 in the rulebook. Complete.
