Pirate Sails Micro War Game


Dear Fellow Gamers,

I am happy to announce the release of my own very first FREE print and play war game: Pirate Sails.

I originally began designing this game because I have a brother who is serving a two year service mission for his church. He moves around a lot and doesn't always have a lot of time or space for gaming. As a result, I thought I might try to design a few very small, very light print and play games to send to him that he and his fellow volunteers can play easily without too much cost or time commitment.

I hadn't ever planned on releasing this for general use, but after being a part of the Wargamers group on Facebook, I decided there may be at least a handful of people out there interested in trying it.

Pirate Sails is my first war game design. I made it even before I played any war games myself (not including Axis and Allies and Risk). It is a simplistic record keeping style war game where each player controls 1-4 pirate ships all fighting it out for supremacy.

You can download it for FREE from the Wargame Vault.

Number of Players: 2 - 4
Time to Play: 30-45 Minutes
Complexity: Low
Solitaire Sustainability: Medium
Footprint: Small
Theme: Age of Sail/Age of Piracy


Welcome to Piece of Chit

Hi. My name is N.C. Patterson. Piece of Chit is my personal war gaming blog. I recently joined the war gaming hobby this last year (2018) and have realized that I have finally found my niche. Never before have I enjoyed a hobby as much as war gaming.

I've always loved history and table top gaming, but nothing brings these elements to the table better than war gaming--specifically war gaming from small companies.

On this blog I will share my own thoughts, opinions, and reviews about war games and their related history or themes. I will also be designing and posting my own FREE print and play games.
