I intend to, as soon as I get my grubby little paws on them. I pre-ordered them along with the Constitution and the Victory, so I might not get them until later this month. I also intended to add the...

Hey all,

I'm hoping I'm not breaking any forum etiquette rules by linking to board game geek, but I've recently uploaded a labor of love to the files section there: version 1.0 of my fleet builder...

This looks great. The only thing I noticed--and I might have missed it--is that if, during the planning phase, your ship is NOT at struck sails and there are no maneuver cards planned, you plan a...

Thanks for the response; I noticed someone's posting on BGG and began to wonder if my interpretation was wrong. I really wish the rules had been written a little more clearly on this point.


...

I've had similar experiences--the raw damage is lethal enough in the game, but adding fire or leak damage, and ships can die really quick. I think this is intentional, but if you're unlucky on the...

Ah, I misunderstood--I thought you were saying you could decide what to fix at the end of the turn.

But yeah, I agree with you: based on what's mechanically occurring, the first turn can't be...

Hey all,

I've been slowly working my way through the advanced rules, trying to wrap my head around the game's flow, and there's one element that vexed me dearly.

In the advanced rules, boarding...

Incidentally, Keith, I took a look at the red cards and I was totally wrong--there is no 180 card (I had forgotten double-hourglass cards were placed BEHIND the ship).

I now think your solution...

I think this makes sense, and thanks for the input. Would this also apply to extinguishing fires? Were there mechanical limits on a ship to how many men could participate in extinguishing fires? (a...

I'm not sure this is accurate. The rules regarding the repair action (page 31) read:

"The player leaves the action counter, faceup, in the planned action box, until the Action phase of the next...

Absolutely; this is only for collisions with anchored ships, or reef/rocky shore collisions that haven't resulted in the ship running aground.



Wouldn't the red cards be even stronger? I'm not...

Hey all;

This is my first attempt at a house rule (for Sails of Glory or otherwise), but I'm bothered by the issue that arose during a play of the "Sitting Ducks" scenario. My SOL had a head-on...

Based on the face that each ship mat only comes with one of each action, I assume you can't plan multiple actions of the same type. But is there a logical reason for this? If there are multiple fires...

I just recognized the wedding ring on the lovely hand in the ninth picture--and I should, since I put it on that finger back in May. This was the same demo game we played!

It was great fun. My...

This is an older thread, but I thought I'd update since the rules have just been released to kickstarter backers.

* In the "Basic Rules" (the bare-bones introductory rules), you select your...

There are specific rules for variable wind strength (where the strength of the wind may change from turn to turn), but there are currently no rules for bad weather (rain, storm, etc).

I feel like...

I ordered at captain level, and decided to go for the extra counters.

The starter set counters are good for 12-15 ships (read that in the comments somewhere). I expect 90% of my games will...

Thank you, sir!

Let's say, just as a hypothetical, that I was some kind of crazy person driven by the compulsive need to sleeve every card I touched... will the Sails of Glory cards fit in any of the conventional...

I live on the North side, uptown (near Broadway and Montrose).

Is there a game store you frequent? I'm often at Cat and Mouse Games; maybe we could meet up to play a game sometime.

Greetings!

My name's Nate; I live in Chicago. I've never backed a kickstarter before, but Ares has found my kryptonite. I started reading the Hornblower series a couple years ago and was...
