Only managed to play Libertalia this week! We picked up Vaalbara a while ago which is oft-described as "Libertalia-lite".

Can now confirm I agree with that sentiment! The game can be surprisingly nasty with "take-that" mechanics which took me from a healthy lead going into Round 3, to only scoring 1 point and coming 3rd in a 4-player game!

Board state must have been somewhat difficult to read for some folks as they often attacked me for no reason (no actual loss from the card they killed) other than I was ahead from the first two rounds. This maneuevre actually cost the player the game as they'd have won had they denied the other player points instead!

Regardless, I did have fun and the plethora of cards made each new round exciting to see what combos we might pull off!
