Dead Reckoning Deckhand (Base Game 2nd Printing)

The core of this game is to pick up and deliver resources / influence with the odd battle.
Doing the battles is not that great. Might as well hand out resources to everyone who participates. There is no real "damage" only a minor set back.

I have Edge of Darkness (another John D Claire game) and figured Dead Reckoning would be just as fun. Turns out the solo or the game in general in my opinion is "ok". It's nothing fantastic but not bad either. If you like spending your turn just to get resources, or spend a turn just to travel to the next location to drop off resources that's ok too.

I believe this game is over hyped. You might like it, I didn't - Solid it few days after buying.

Dead Reckoning (Standard Edition)

This is a really great game of pirates and cards crafting. With exploration, influence on region and combat, it's really close to a 4x to me. Boardgame bliss seems to have been the only one to carry it! By chance, I'm always looking through the new items on their website because I really wanted to get my hands on a copy and I did! Thx BGB
