It
has been a week for varied games. On
Wednesday evening I went to Dave Paterson’s shed for a game of Dead Man’s
Hand. Once again Dave amazed me with the
quality of the terrain he puts out for his games. My posse of 3 lawmen did not do that well in any
of the 3 scenes we played losing a character in each of the first two games and
two including my Sherif in the 3rd game.

On
Thursday I took my collection of Pirates of the Caribbean ships along to Hugh
Wilson’s and the 6 players played a series of 4 rounds of 2 player games
each. I umpired. The factions I can put
out are the English, Americans, French, Spanish, Pirates and Cursed

It was the first time I have used the
ships. I bought them several years ago
when they were being sold off in my local discount bookshop. I spent a few days last week building about
50 of the ships. Over the series of
games I added in more terrain and mysterious islands to the setups. The Spanish and English both won 3 of their games. Everyone seemed to enjoy the simple rules and
the ships look good. We will try it again
– next time I will add in unique treasures, crews and possibly personalities.
This Sunday I am putting on an August 1914 Bolt Action game.
I have a ton of these pirate ships still unsold in Iains collection.
ReplyDeleteI could let you have them for a song!
Or perhaps the other players would like some for themselves.

I bought a tin of those ships from Toysrus a few years ago. Surprisingly good models and the rules are simple enough to pick up in a few minutes.
