We went to see a certain piratey type movie today. And then we played Cartagena (review : game) and Pirate's Cove (review : game), and then we watched Dead Man's Chest (review : DVD).
Justin won Cartagena for the first time, and I utterly lost it - the only one who didn't get all six of my pirates onto the boat - for the first time. Along with Justin, both Rachel and Josh (a first time player) out-strategized me. They may have had me down and out, leaving me alone in prison, but when we next spent a year of sailing out of Pirate's Cove I never returned to the cove once, although I sent people back a time or two. In the end, I sailed to Treasure Island to take on Blackbeard, and, along with Justin, we brought him low and took the spoils. My planing was wise, and despite losing nearly everything - one more hit on my cannon and it would have been all over after a very close battle with Josh - I gathered more fame and fortune than all the other captains combined.
And, in PotCII: Dead Man's Chest we noticed certain things a lot more than we had the first time.
( I suppose I should do this, because you know, click here and there just may be spoilers. )
I'll do an actual review once it's out on DVD. Until that time, go see it - preferably before you read the previous paragraph. Either immediately before or after seeing #3, watch #2 carefully.
