Felt like it took the more tedious parts of Merchants & Marauders and doubled down on them. The base Broadsides doesn't involve upgrading your boat, having a character, making moral/career choices, but boy howdy does it have a 6 step process for firing a cannon!

Got this game from Grand Con 2016 for participating in a charity event in which I got to play the game against the designer, Josh Cappel. I did defeat him, but I was suspicious of Josh throwing the game... Great guy and it was a highlight of the convention.

Enjoyed it but does seem like there may be degenerate early strategies with early shots. Also seems pretty luck based. Still need to try it with the advanced cards.
