[QUOTE="Iron_Chef, post: 1757773, member: 4530"] We play with our own house rules from the American rules mixed with Brutal Bucaneers 3 rules (link below) and our own ideas. [url]http://boardgamegeek.com/viewfile.php3?fileid=6008[/url] We play that all damage to crippled ship is automatically healed for free to the starting position (skull and crossed swords second ring position) in pirate's cove (in addition to your choice of 2 gold and 1 tavern card or 2 tavern cards and no gold), and then you can spend up to 5 gold to upgrade any sections of your ship you want. This is because if you play otherwise, a defeat or two may cause you to fall so far behind the other players you will never win. This way, defeat is more of a temporary setback. We also play that all Legendary Pirates move randomly (roll 1d6 each turn for each legendary pirate), and if they land on your current island at the end of the turn, then you must fight them BEFORE you can leave that island on your next turn.
