Not knowing whether your plan is going to pay off... Or if a spring is going to result in your cannon ball hitting your own ship. (2 more)
Many variables that make predicting opponents decision making extremely difficult. Definitely a game of tactics.
Good range of tile types resulting in a variety of strategies.
The character stands and the helms knock each other. Either higher placed helms or shorter stands would remedy this. Appreciate it may make them top heavy... But I feel it's a fair point. (1 more)
Some holes in the rules... But most are clear.
Fun on the 7 seas... Well... Just the one table...
A highly enjoyable quick game. Tactics required and forward thinking.. But not too much that it detracts from the fun. Who doesn't love the idea of firing a cannon ball that breaks through an opponents hull... Or getting one over on a neighboring captain as their cannon ball flows harmlessly through your pipe to then hit them on the back side of their boat... I mean ship.

Album Favorite

"The Damned were the first music that I felt I owned. The band you found on your own. The group that your friends don't know. ‘Hayman likes punk music! Ha-ha, what an idiot.’ But the Damned were a terrible punk band; they were too silly, too stupid. I don't like debut albums, all that mindless, directionless energy. I don't like bands at the end of their careers either; the Damned especially do not seem to be able to grow old gracefully. I like bands when they’re in transition. When they try and escape what made them and start to grow into what they always should have been. The Damned were a pop band, and this is their Revolver, not as obvious as their more significant record ‘Phantasmagoria’. They haven't quite ironed out the kinks, and they all hate Captain Sensible who is about to leave them to become a failed star. Strawberries has more tunes than an Elephant Six album. They never play any songs from it now."

"Hi Ho Silver away!"

Gore Verbinski (Pirates of the Carribean) take on the classic Western for Disney, with Johnny Depp's Tonto pretty much playing the same character as his Captain Jack Sparrow, and with Armie Hammer taking on the role of The Lone Ranger.

Set as an elderly Tonto telling the story to a child visitor in a fairground in 1930s San Fransisco, this takes a while to get going (2hour 20 running time!), with a large part of the story settign the scene and the background to how the Lone Ranger came to be who he is/was.

Indeed, apart from a slight refrain at the beginning the stirring William Tell overture doesn't even get used until near the end of the movie (probably for the best, as an overuse would dilute its impact).

I also have to say that this is probably one for the big screen: the sweeping majestic shots of the Wild West do kind of lose their impact on a smaller TV screen!
