I fear I have added the page Pirates of the Spanish Main (board game) because I was of the opinion that a page on this game didn't exist yet. Damn me for always clicking "Go" instead of "Search". I will attempt a merger between both pages. Wouter Lievens 16:13, 2 Feb 2005 (UTC)
 * The pages have been merged. -- Netoholic @ 03:53, 2005 Feb 3 (UTC)

Not a collectible card game?
Why not? A player buys sealed packs of cards and uses them to construct a fleet. The cards are also distributed semi-randomly within packs and have rarity values. Gameplay is balanced through a point-based resource system. Individual cards have special rules that are printed on the card. I do not see anything on the CCG article that would not include this game. --Boco XLVII 04:08, 3 Feb 2005 (UTC)
 * "Packaged like a collectible card game, the styrene cards can be punched apart to construct highly detailed 3-D sailing ships". The mechanics of this game are nothing like the general concepts given at collectible card game. -- Netoholic @ 04:51, 2005 Feb 3 (UTC)
 * And? I was unaware that to be considered a collectible card game gameplay had to be represented entirely in two dimensions.  Just because cards have positions that affect the rules does not make it not a card game.  It is a miniatures game that takes the form of a CCG.  What about it, specifically, violates the "laws" of what is or is not a CCG? --Boco XLVII 05:19, 3 Feb 2005 (UTC)
 * Well, 3D play on its own is not the issue. It is the fact that the card-like pieces are not played as a card game, but instead are punched out. -- Netoholic @ 22:29, 2005 Feb 3 (UTC)
 * I entirely agree with Boco. Pirates of the Spanish Main is marketed as a CCG and it is treated as such by its players. It has cards, they're bought in boosters, there is trading, and some cards are rarer than others. Check eBay if you don't believe me :-) Wouter Lievens 09:24, 3 Feb 2005 (UTC)
 * Mage Knight is sold in boosters and traded, and have varying rarities. That does not make it a CCG.  -- Netoholic @ 22:29, 2005 Feb 3 (UTC)
 * Allright, it's okay. Wouter Lievens 13:17, 5 Feb 2005 (UTC)

Uh... why is this argument even happening. No duh it's a CCG. Wizkids even larkets it as one and the cards are still a major part of gameplay. Saksjn 12:08, 17 April 2007 (UTC)

Wizkids actually markets this as a Constructible Strategy Game (CSG). As that is the term that Wizkids wishes used, who are we to disagree?TheCommodore7 17:15, 25 May 2007 (UTC)

Extra Pages
Being the idiot I am, I have begun to create pages for each expansion set. If you guys can help me with them that would be great. The Ronin 21:25, 8 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Now that the individual set pages are being populated, shall we move all of the "set details" oriented information out of the main article, notably numbers of each faction added, etc? Alternatively, should that information be duplicated in each set's "Details" section? Tofu.bandit 22:41, 5 July 2006 (UTC)

I'm so excited about the new pack "Rise of the Fiends" that's coming out, especially about the double rang flotilla towers/forts. When should we make the page for that? 75.28.162.82 (talk) 02:51, 15 December 2007 (UTC) it my opinion there is nothing stopping it from being both. you can play it as a card game or a CCG — Preceding unsigned comment added by 97.100.34.174 (talk) 20:40, 28 October 2012 (UTC)

Separate article for the Spainish Main set versus the game as a whole
Given that the game has evolved a bit beyond the single set, I wonder if it'd be worth making an article for the game as a whole, with the basic information about all the expansions, and one soley for the Spainish Main set itself. Any thoughts? FrozenPurpleCube 06:29, 9 September 2006 (UTC)
 * I'd go for that. It'd solve my earlier question about "details" being in the main page...I've refrained from adding new details on the main page because it seems no longer appropriate -- ie, those details (7 new French ships and 7 new English, etc...) seem more appropriate on the set specific pages.  I vote for migrating the set details to the individual set pages and adding a Spanish Main set page.  Naming the two new pages is a different question.  I have no suggestion on how to distinguish between the game and the first set.  Would it be just a matter of throwing an "(initial set)" after it or something?

Merge proposal: Pirates of Davy Jones' Curse into Pirates Constructible Strategy Game
proposed the merger but forgot to post here.

I agree with a merger: Priates of Davy Jones' Curse is not notable in its own right. Boleyn (talk) 16:19, 27 August 2014 (UTC)

Proposed and seconded, no objections, so I have made the merge. Boleyn (talk) 19:09, 9 December 2014 (UTC)
