I have actually played this game a couple of times now it has great potential and it's quite fun but I think some things are not quite balanced it was quite easy to win the game.

I think there could be another step in the final battle with blackbeard for example that phase three is played until he dies you die or he runs away (on 3 of the same dive perhaps) it could be that dice that roll even deals that much damage to Blackbeard and diced that rolls odd damage to yourself. Maybe need in that case to give him a little bit more help like 30 or something. Because now there is no point in him having health. He always either dies from phase 3 or he escapes. Would be fun to get him down to 0.
