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!

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.

Played a couple of times with long stretches in between. This can be a very fun game if you play it often enough with the same person/people. Always checking what card hands do what actions if you are unfamiliar. Plays within an hour which is a bonus.
