Hi guys, it was ages since I managed to get my copy on table again. Good thing is I painted my ships so it looks much better, and my group liked it(although my gf feeled a bit bored with down time, but she won while everyone else had 2 and 0 pts, and we were wtf,lol).
Questions:
1.When you come in port, and buy, you can buy goods that are in demand in that port, right? And since you can have 6 cargo while in port, even if you are pirate in sloop with 2 cargo, when you come in port, and perhaps get lucky with draw, you can hold still 6 cards. You come in port, and have 2 goods that are there in demand, you don't sell, then you buy, draw 6 cards, and luckily you drew 2-3 goods that are in demand in this port, you buy them dirt cheap. Then wait, and in next turn sell all 5 goods for 30 gold?
My group felt this was kinda strange, there are this goods in demand, but they are selling them dirt cheap to you.
2.Rumors, you claim rumor, and the moment you resolve it, sucesfully, no matter the rumor, you get glory point, right? My gf was lucky, she had that spanish captain that has bonus for rumors, and claimed few of them really easily, since they were all grouped close. So not only did she got Money from rumors(10-15gold for some rumors= like 2 glory pts for Money + glory pts for solving rumors)
3. In combat, there was this strange situation. More or less I grasp now how it functions. But My friend declared bord, and I declared shoot, I shot down his masts I think, the ones that say that you can't choose bord, just shoot. Does he still take bord action, since he declared it before his masts were shoot, or would it be canceled, and we would move to next run, where he could only shoot? We played he still boards, and I was sunk since I had 0 crew. But now I think that his action might have been canceled?
), there's unfortunately one rule which is still unclear to me and haven't managed to find an answer for it here or in the FAQ.
