First-Run Starter Pack

My wife and I are putting together ten starter packs by hand to see if there's enough interest to turn this into a full-fledged game and get feedback on how it plays. If you'd like one, the form's below.

How this came about

Originally I was just trying to make a silly little game to play with my friends and the youth at my church — something like Battleship that involved shooting real cannons, alternating between chaos and strategy.

I threw together a few rough models in TinkerCad just to see if the idea would work, took them to my office to play around with, and it kind of blew up from there. Now I really want to play this game. My friends want to play it too. And apparently a ton of other people on the internet would as well.

So we're trying to figure out: are there enough people interested to make this worth investing the time and money to turn it into a real game, or should it stay as a fun prototype?

To that end, my wife and I are prepared to print, package, and ship ten starter packs: up to two per person.
Right now we're just charging for filament and time cost + shipping.

Pack contents

For a full game, you'll probably want two packs. But you can play a stripped-down game with one.

Queen's Fleet — three-ship fleet, sails, and faction card.
Queen's Fleet Ship (x3)
Corsair Fleet — four small ships, sails, and faction card.
Corsair Ship (x4)

A full ship set

  • Full fleet: your choice of the Corsair Fleet (4 small ships) or Queen's Fleet (3 larger ships)
  • Masts, sails, and flag holders for all ships
  • A pack of cannons, cannonballs, and coins
  • Movement wheels and cargo for all ships
  • Three island toppers and flagpoles
  • Rocks and reefs

Printable manual

  • The current edition of the rulebook
  • Printable faction card
  • (And we'll make sure you always get the latest version to print off.)
All the printed parts that come in a starter pack laid out together.
The various parts included in a pack. Colors may vary. Quantities will match the game rulebook.

As I keep working on the models and adding new pieces, I'll do my best to keep everything backwards-compatible with this run.

Pricing

We don't really know what we're doing, but here's where we landed for this run.
Hopefully just enough to cover filament, print time, and shipping.

One pack

$22

$12 pack + $10 shipping

Two packs

$34

$24 pack + $10 shipping

Sadly, we can only ship within the US for now. If this game takes off beyond our wildest dreams, we'll absolutely try to figure out international shipping.

The form

Fill this out if you'd like a pack or two. Once you submit, my wife or I will reach out by email to confirm everything and work out payment with you. We're keeping it manual for this small run.

Want to chip in?

Not in the US, missed the ten slots, or just want to help us keep printing and playtesting? Anything goes straight into more filament, more parts, and more sessions at the table.
