Have just met with Nick Pace , designer of this new pirate card game. Learned the game in the first go round, really easy but then comes the challenge of building a workable deck to win games. The set comes with two deck of cards, one the character set and then a deck of playing cards (52 cards). Your character deck is built by a limit of gold total and you choose your characters according to their abilities. When you play you set out your character to fight and use the playing cards to see if you hit or miss when attacking. sometimes the character being attacked can dodge or evade the hit. Object of the game is to kill all of your opponents characters. Game takes about 15-40 minutes to play.
The artwork on both decks are all done by Don Maitz, this alone makes buying the set worthwhile. A really fun quick game, I would recommend to all pirates to buy and play. Nick is a local talent and can be found at Pop Culture Paradise in Tempe to learn the game from and to win some signed cards by Don Maitz if you can beat him (probably for a limited time so find him fast).
Cost of set one is $15 and can be found at above store or at his website nickpe.com. He has plans to make more sets so get on the wagon now folks. He plans to set up tournaments once enough people start playing, should be loads of fun.
