Shiver Me Timbers! Raise the Black Flag! We dashed off to the Spanish Main as Chris Ketcherside brought us a fast and fun game of the Age of Sail .
This collectable ship game from several years ago is an exceptionally easy to play game that gives a nice flavor for the players to enjoy. The ships denote their firepower dice on their masts as seen above and as you take damage you lose both masts and the ability to shoot with those white (short range) or red (long range) dice.
Movement is delineated on your ship control card which also serves as your movement and range marker. Turning is fairly liberal in that you can pretty much turn anyway you would like. In our introduction to this game system Eddie, Jake and Kevin did a quick run through to understand the rules and nuances of the system. The dice in this game were not with our new player Jake, but he more than made up for it in a second round, winning handily.
All in all a fun little game which is easy to understand for the players at least at this introductory level. We have convinced Chris to run this one again later in the year so expect to revisit the Spanish Main with these cool looking ships.
Thanks to Chris and all the players in both games who participated. Thanks also to Miniature Market Rock Hill for their continued support.
