Thanks for the compliment, Schnool! I tried it at 4 players (the other three folks have played it a lot and graciously taught me). Perhaps the designer has spoiled me with his more fast-paced games (Blitzkrieg, Ethnos, etc.) that I wanted the same from Libertalia.

It’s still an absolute classic for me, but only with 3, maybe 4 players (but preferably 3), at which the play time stays reasonable and the intense card play really shines. Any more and it falls apart; you can’t keep track of everyone’s hands sufficiently for intelligent play and bluffing and second guessing, so it becomes random and yes, overly long.

At 5 and 6 players it is pointless as anything other than a slightly mean activity over drinks while catching up with friends.

Ps. Found bitewing recently and enjoying it thoroughly. Good work!
