Pathfinder Adventure Card Game: Skull & Shackles – Base Set review

Pathfinder Adventure Card Game: Skull & Shackles is a great way to get into the world of Pathfinder without having to commit to a full-fledged tabletop RPG. The card-driven system is easy to learn and the rules are fairly simple, though the sheer number of cards and options can be a bit overwhelming at first.

The pirate theme is well-executed and the new ship mechanic adds a unique layer of strategy to the game. The game can be played solo or with up to 4 players, and it's a great choice for those who enjoy cooperative gameplay. The game's component quality is high, with lots of beautiful artwork and a solid card stock.

Some players have complained about the complexity of the rules and the amount of setup time required, but I personally find it to be a minor inconvenience. The game's replayability is also quite high, with plenty of character options and adventure paths to explore.

Overall, I would definitely recommend Pathfinder Adventure Card Game: Skull & Shackles to anyone looking for a fun and engaging cooperative card game. Just be prepared to spend a little time learning the rules and sorting through all the cards.
