Merchants and Marauders play though Turn 3. Continuing south to Trinidad the storm marker pushed me out of the way delaying me again. It was somewhere around here I stopped tracking crew morale, mostly cause I never tracked it anyway, maybe next time.
Merchants and Marauders play though Turn 2. I left port and searched for the missing Captain to complete the rumor, I did not find him and proceeded south to end the turn.
Turn 1 ends. I used the last of starting gold on rumors, only one was a success.
The upside to this playthrough being complete is that, knowing how it ends, I’m able to shift some things around to set up later payoffs. The Elder Signs play through was a seat of the pants kind of story that invoved last minute problem solving.
The whale barkeep came out pretty well, I’ll have to bring him back somehow.
Turn 1 continues. I purchased contraband. This is a deviation from what was actually purchased. I did buy two cards in the game but it was prisoners. I felt that was an inappropriate subject matter for a comic strip about a bear thing.
Merchants and Marauders boardgame play through. Turn one continues, drawing cards to shop.
This was the first time I played using almost all the expansion modules. I stopped using the crew morale option because I kept forgetting it was there.
Chapter 1 of a tale of sails will consist of turn 1 of the board game merchants and marauders. My captain’s home port in this play through was havana, which is where this tale begins.
Mondays and Fridays will now be adventure tales made of board game session. First up is a pirate tale told by one of my favorite games. Merchants and Marauders.
I’ve decided on Monday and Fridays only because I don’t want to get annoyed like I did during the Elder Signs story. Both the story and my motivation suffered as I tried to wrap it up when I realized how long it was going. Now there is just something a little extra to look forward too each week.
