Merchants & Marauders Board Game | PvP Ship Combat Examples

Watch as I run through a few practice player v. player combats from Merchants & Marauders, the awesome pirate board game from ‪@ZManGamesOfficial‬. This is the most complex aspect of gameplay and I was making this as a refresher for myself while looking through the rules, so I figured I'd share it with the ‪@KZbin‬ universe.
NOTE: At 10:47 there is a goof (pointed out by ​@grog3514): Chain and grapeshot can only be used when a skull is rolled on the damage die. I erroneously used one on a numbered roll.
NOTE: At 13:50 I say "He's obtained another cannon" ... but it looks like his ship can only have one cannon. (Cap'n Awesome) (pointed out by ‪@audraogilvy4781‬)
If you notice any other mistakes, please let me know in the comments. A rulebook reference (page) and video time stamp would be much appreciated. I'll make Klingon subtitles for any mistakes. Thanks for watching and if you want to help support my channel, PLEASE subscribe!

@@KennethWhiteakaruckusbringa So nerdy. So cool! 👏

[@audraogilvy4781]

Great video - thanks! A question: at 13:50 you say "He's obtained another cannon" ... but how did he do this? It looks like his ship can only have one cannon. (Cap'n Awesome)

[@fenirob]

In watching that now it is probably a mistake. Thanks for watching and the catch!

[@grog3514]

I believe the upgraded weapons only work for skull rolls where the target would otherwise get to choose the damage location.

[@fenirob]

Thanks for watching and commenting. Do you have a rule book reference? Page please?

[@grog3514]

@@fenirob p. 15 under special weapons It's one of the few sections where the rules use clear iconography to explain the mechanic.

[@fenirob]

​@@grog3514 Thanks - I think it might be at 10:47. I added a Klingon subtitle and a note in the description. Good catch. Let me know if you see any other goofs.

Sorry, I do not.

[@wolfgangowens8197]

Where did the John Knox card come from? Is that from the expansion?

[@fenirob]

That is probably correct.

[@brucelee9346]

could you tell me what the stats of the Man O' War is

[@fenirob]

Toughness, Crew and Cannons = 5 each. Cargo = 3. Maneuverability = 2.

[@jayblake682]

What is the purpose of the grappling hook?

[@fenirob]

To allow a re-roll when you take the Board action. Sadly, Sir Elton did not get a chance.

[@mason7119]

Can you somehow flee once boarding has begun?

[@fenirob]

I don't think so.
