Tiny Epic Pirates Tutorial & Playthrough 

It's great to see that you have noticed all these things I try to cram into my projects :) I'm glad you like the format!

Thank you so much! I'm glad you found this helpful.

This is my preferred style to watch, that's why I started making them this way :)

I wish you'd put timestamps in for these issues. It's possible these rules changed between the prototype and the final version.

Sounds like a fun project, I hope you enjoyed playing with that PnP version :)

Honestly I don't feel comfortable doing that since the my two recent pirate game videos were both sponsored content and I try to stay as impartial with these games as possible.

More on the Epic side, this one.

Unfortunately it has been too long since I made this video to remember specific answers like these.

You dont have to end up in a hideout. It can just be useful if your crew is jostled or if the navy would reach you this turn. If you cant reach it, you simply cant use the order, costing you time and power (since youll be slower and missing an extra hit for the cannoneer.) As for the Navy attacking you in your last turn, youre right. Probably a relic of an earlier build I guess.

It's unlikely at this point because I don't have a copy and the publisher hasn't reached out to me about it.

This was filmed with a prototype, so the components may not match the final versions.

Yes, I have never actually played it and don't have a copy.

It's been too long since I filmed this to remember specific rules like this unfortunately.

@@JonGetsGames Not to worry. Rodney Smith answered my question.

I had the same thought when I was reading the rules for the first time.

That's totally fair that you feel that way - I'm the complete opposite- I always wanted to dive into a Tiny Epic Game....and some of them had themes I really enjoyed (Quest, Dinos) but the mechanics involved just didnt do it for me. Some of them felt way too simplistic while others felt way too complicated. Tiny Epic Pirates has a great theme and I feel the Rondel Mechanic, Pick Up and Deliver Mechanic, and Dice Combat are so well intertwined and a perfect match. The game is super intuitive, turns are crisp and fluid, and it oozes with theme with each aspect properly adding to said theme without feeling plastered on. The legendary status, exchange of booty for gold, then gold for burying treasure is so simple yet so clean and elegant of a dynamic. Plus I really enjoy all of the pieces - and a telltale sign that a game is really well made is when there is hardly any words one writing and yet the symbols make everything clear and precise. I've seen lots of Pirate Games on the market, but this one finally hit that perfect sweet spot of strategic without being garish or way too much stuff for the sake of stuff. It's a game I can get to the table and play with my SO and she'd have a blast. I've wanted a Tiny Epic Game but have never found one that made me pull the trigger I've wanted a Pirate game but also never found one to make me pull the trigger This one was a day one backing for me.

A crunchy game that fits in a small space is right up my alley. It also has a solo so it would definitely hit my table. It's okay to not like middle weight games. If you want a light small box game there are plenty others to choose from. At the end of the day it's about fun.

You can always create some house rules. Or you can remove the navy ship, merchant ships and you can the deck wheel function as you like. That could easily make things simpler. I have this game now and it looks great in person. Very good build quality.

There are alot of them recently. I'm working on Dead Reckoning at the moment, another pirate game that'll be launching in a couple months.

@@JonGetsGames I'm half-expecting Bandai to give the rights to make a One Piece board-game at this point. XD

as someone who unreasonably enjoys pirate-themed games, i can't complain =)

It is explained as part of the "Shipping Line Explanation" and you can see that around 26:40

Other players may still take turns, and the Navy's position could impact their ability to bury treasure.

Burying a treasure doesn’t necessarily mean the navy is moving. However, if that did happen it might reposition the navy to bring some heavy interference to other player’s plans. Just my guess though.

Hehe, yep that's what the rulebook calls it :)
