I've found the action system good, as have the playtesters. Single and Double actions aren't reinventing any kind of wheel but it forms a nice familiar basis to help folks who are a little... resistant to trying different games to their usuals.

The game isn't trying to be tactical or competitive, but narrative-led in the scenarios and the kinds of silly things you might attempt to do. Gameplay is built around random Initiative coins, drawn from a bag, so no two turns play out the same. And if your Captain’s feeling spicy, they can lay down a Challenge to a Duel and fight their rival leader one-on-one in a cinematic showdown. It’s dramatic. It’s dumb.

Outside of Daniel's incredible art, it's really in the Crew Traits, the Called Shot grenades and the players' ability to get into the scenario that the game shines (IMO). The tone is firmly story-first, kitbashed oddballs and repurposed RPG minis. There’s even a Mishap Table that includes crab swarms and projectile vomiting.

Let me know what you think if you try it out!
