Hi guys and gals. I often here how many people like the game but find that it has too much downtime. For that reason they dont play it as often. If I can recoup those people and get the on board I would be very happy. The more people who have M¤M as their favorite pirate game the better.I have an idea for a small and simple variant. I was wondering if some of you were willing to try it out for me - especially if you normally think the downtime is too much.
Very simple:
Every time a player selects the "Port" action his turn ends. The next player now takes his turn while the previous player finishes his "port" action

Now to many who do not have the issue of downtime (like me) this change will seem very odd. But to others it may save the game. It may also be a piss poor idea. And this is where you come in
To try it you need to erase your memory of how the game normally works - otherwise you will keep getting annoyed that your turn ends after a port action. So try imagine that this variant is the only way the game has ever been - pretend you are trying it for the first time and this rule is in.
Let me know if you thought it minimized downtime (and of cousre any other observations or thoughts you may have). Please report your findings here.
