Galleys & Galleons - Update and a Give Away!
The play testing of Galleys & Galleons has gone very well and we are about to enter the proofing stage. I'm not particularly fond of tempting fate, but I can't see too many scenarios stopping the rules from being released on schedule - in time for International Talk Like a Pirate Day on September 19th.
I thought I post a few more pictures to give an idea of some different fleet types possible in the game. So far I have shown off my pirate fleet, and my Dutch East India Company fleet.
Powering out of port, propelled by the sweat of enslaved oarsmen, I'd like now to present my Barbary Corsairs. The three galleys are from Skytrex with Peter Pig deck crew; the xebec (as some of you may have seen) is a conversion based on a Peter Pig schooner.

I have also had a couple of decks of cards made up for determining player turn order in multiplayer games. These aren't anything essential for the game, but I was feeling flippant. There are 11 different characters, so everyone at the table should be able to find a card to match their own style. As there was no point just ordering 11 cards, I ordered multiple decks along with some extra cards with little wind gauges on them. Some sample images are shown below. I will have a chat with Andrea at Ganesha, and we'll see what process we'll use to give away the extra packs!

Beautiful ships, the mix of green and yellow is fantastic!
ReplyDeleteExcellent cards. I have a playtest of G&G at the club on Tuesday. I'll let you know how it goes.
