"...so piratey it sweats parrots!" by Capt. Bilgemunky "What, no ships? No pillaging? And you never even leave port until the very end? Bloody 'eck, what kind of pirate game is this? Short answer: A drop-dead-in-your-linens-and-flog-a-seagull-for-grins fantastic one..."

"Gathering your Pi-ra-te crew" by Charles A. Smith (Greybear) "Have you ever flipped through a picture book that allows you to change body parts so you can, for example, combine an iguana head with a snake body and an alligator tail?... Now we have the same fundamental mechanic reincarnated for childlike grownups in the card game Skallywaggs from the new publisher Bent Castle Workshops..." Read entire review "Few card games I know have such a fun ending." by Matthew Webster (bigcheese) "...In both the 2- and 3-player games I have played there has always been a frantic finale with different players each trying to set sail while thwarting their opponents.

Its time for the News (and the Olds) Back to top Sept 2005 Skallywaggs site has been careened That's right, we beached her and cleaned a bunch of barnacles from below the waterline. Didja notice? Probably not, but the repairs should make skimming the waters of our order pages much smoother. We raise our tankards in salute of Dan Prince O'Pirates for all his help with that and to Wild Mutt LeGrange for getting our postings posted! Aug 2005 Speaking of clandestine raids... We figured GenCon was at least as big as a four-player game so a crew of five was all we needed to set sail, so five we were plus Sparky Shanty Erasmus and Painted Mojo Du Moko. We loaded our fleet, all two ships, with cargo and made our way to Indianapolis with few plans beyond grappling our way aboard and making our mark. Many thanks and a broadside salute go out to Scott Agnew for allowing us to drop anchor at the Morrigan Press booth. We couldn't have asked for nicer moorings! Our footprint may have been small but we did our best to make a big splash.
