Fun and thematic PvP. Need to try with the Reputation and Dirty event cards. Might have to try a couple of the variants to reduce the random factor and speed up the endgame.

A really great game. Tight, thematic and far better than games with just "health". It can be a little heavy on the brain at some points, but I think that's a good thing. It definitely doesn't deserve the negativity it gets, but I will say this; it is nothing like Merchants & Marauders, so don't go into it thinking it's similar. It is, however, a solid 2-player ship fighting game.

Actually, I didn't get a full play in but just the first many rounds. I wonder how much the 1st player has the advantage in this game. It seemed pretty strong. A bunch of back and forth and seems tug of war like. I liked the targets, I thought that was interesting but it could totally just be luck of the draw since you need cards to line up with the targets. I would be winning to play the full game.
