× WELCOME TO TRASHDOME!

This is part of a series of bloody matches to the death. Show support for your favorite game so it will do better in the fight. You can support it by writing why you think its the better game and more importantly by betting (i.e. voting for) it. Please make it clear for when I check the bets later. You have until Friday when I tally the bets and declare the winner. I will reserve my bet for any tie-breakers.

Although you should be familiar with both games, there is no rule that says you have to have played both of them. The only rule in Trashdome is this;

Two games enter! One game leaves!

I will gladly go down in flames here. Never played the old Blackbeard, but the new one kinda, really, genuinely sucks.

I've played Pirate's Cove with gamers, family, and friends. Always a hit.

Never played Pirate's Cove, nor the original Blackbeard, but fuuuuuuck, new Blackbeard is just total fucking garbage.

Never played Blackbeard, and while Pirate's Cove can be pretty average sometimes, it's also fun and a good family game.

I really don't like pirates. Yet another thing like zombies and ninjas transformed into a cute pop culture figure. Oh, I still like historical pirates and all, so the vote is with BLACKBEARD, even if it's the ultra-shitty GMT reissue. The original was a pretty neat, if cumbersome, game and it was WAY better than PIRATE'S COVE. PIRATE'S COVE is one of the dumbest games I've ever played.

Not here to vote. Just came to say that I have no intent at all to play Blackbeard, and that Pirate's Cove is a disappointing bucket of shit.

Meh.

Dude, sometimes that's a total fucking compliment. Seriously.

Monsters Menace America is the dumbest game I've ever played. And I love it too.

Pirate's Cove

I've only played it once, and it had a nice family-game vibe. It plays well with non-gamer.

Never played Blackbeard, and it's not high on my list.

In AH's Blackbeard, I've robbed a merchant ship, kidnapped a high ranking official, tortured him to find out details about a port, attacked the port, looted it , burned it to the ground, narrowly escaped a run in with a warship, my crew and I became inflicted with scurvy and I died before I could truly enjoy my spoils.

In Pirate's Cove I had fun being a comic strip pirate, but it doesn't come even close to giving me that sweaty, heart-racing thrill of buccaneering on the high seas like Blackbeard does.

I've played AH Blackbeard a couple times. It was fun, if alittle clunky.

Vote: AH Blackbeard

AH BB is on my top 10 and has been one of my favorites for a long time. My favorite way to play is solitaire, but 2p is fine too.

Piratenbucht was very awesome the first play, and pretty great the second play. We have no enthusiasm to give it a third play, even with the Pirate's Cove addition. Yet, I would play Pirate's Cove with a curling iron up my ass before playing GMT's BB again.

Vote: Pirate's Cove

It's a fairly decent family game. You get to upgrade your ship, fight each other, get treasure. That ain't bad. I'd rather play it than a stuffy Euro game any day.

Never played either version of Blackbeard.

Blackbeard

Pirate's Cove is medicore. The old Blackbeard did a better job as a piratey game. Haven't played the new one, but after what I've seen written about it it's likely I'm better off having not.
