Mechanics (from transcript analysis)
- Cannons — Spend source on cannonballs for cannons with unlimited range that shoot through lanes.
- Contract fee — At the start of each market phase, lose two source.
- Deployment gates — Can have up to four deployment gates placed around the map, unlike other factions with one fortress gate.
- Killing own units — Can kill their own units to gain source (currency).
- lifeboat — If a minion moves onto it, they go back to the fortress fully healed.
- Mercenaries — Hires a bunch of mercenaries, getting an extra drafting phase between market and build phase.
- Morale Die — Morale goes up when certain units are killed, and can be spent to reduce opponent's command points.
- Pulling the plank — Units spawn at the beginning of the deck, run down the plank, and if they attack the fortress gate, can be 'yanked' and killed at the end of the turn.
- ship movement — Can move their ship once per game, but lose all source if they do.
- Swabbies — Units that do nothing but block for others, and upon dying, can upgrade an adjacent unit.
