With the right people, totally. Diplomacy and people skills figure huge in how you can enjoy the game.

Not something I want to "like," but I glad this is incorporated into a game.

That's a mouthful.

But it is a cool and very innovative game. I was a playtester.

Turns out you need to actually link tactical success to ACHIEVABLE goals, not wishful thinking. Crazy, I know.

I know how that feels, but I think "friction" adds a lot to the game experience. I like difficult choices under unexpected constraints.

I rather like it. Other unrelated mechanisms (combat, supply, etc) can play into how much I like a game, but I do think a chit pull can work well in a game.

Moreover the vessel owners and insurers are likely not keen on the idea of risking the crew, the vessel, and the cargo in unsafe waters.

People, like your spiteful poster, need to show some greatness of spirit. The resistance only succeeds if it succeeds for everyone. We need all the good people we can get in these troubled times.

I do. It was always a trick to thread properly.

Nowadays you'd need an open carry permit.

A horse with an elephant head used in warfare, transporting two soldiers and a fortified tower. This detail is from a 1471 printed book (Speculum humanae salvationis).

Tell me you have never seen an elephant before without telling me ... #skystorians
