Well at this point I had collected quite a lot of different pieces and bought lots of cards.

I had one queen with judgement (souls from kills) and world (more moves) and another with high priestess (give moves) and world (more moves). The rest of the starting board was filled with pieces with as many card slots filled with fool cards. I never moved these pieces unless absolutely necessary. And of course I maxed out each pieces slots with emperor cards.

I declined every single event and received more and more souls each time. At the end of turn 10 I sacrificed all my pieces. -> 1350 souls

I feel like 500 souls felt like an achievement but then it got quite easy to reach. 1000 souls is more like an achievement because then you can basically clear out the shop. Maybe everything in the shop should be more expensive? I think a tarot card could cost like 50 souls but then again early game would feel so slow.

I got to 1350 souls at the end of day 10

Yeah that would solve it. I think that's a fair solution

The Ghost King was not moving but I do not remember what it did before this state. I'll report back if I manage to reproduce it

This happened. Not sure how  because there were way too many pieces on the board. Day 30+. I tried to take the king but my piece acted like the square was empty. So maybe the piece was supposed to be removed but instead just remained on the board inactive

I also found an easy way to get souls quickly. Pick as many tarot cards on your starting pieces as possible (emperor helps here), beat the first island, move all your pieces away from your "ship", then embarking will destroy all pieces and cards giving you lots of souls. I get 50+ souls with 5 pieces + cards. It's way too powerful.

Two dead ends:

This was unbeatable. I couldn't figure out how the opponent (white) made all their pieces immortal on each turn.

Another dead end: I lost my last piece by hermit+emperor combo by the queen on the top. The piece had copied the abilities from my pieces. The game is waiting me to end my turn but the end turn button won't function.

Got stuck on pre-turn. No moves left and end turn button does nothing.

I had a queen with 5 moves and Moon and Death cards which I moved around killing pieces until I accidentally killed one with a Justice card. Then the game got stuck. Animations are still playing but I have no pieces with moves and the end turn button is broken. It still has clicking animation but nothing happens.

EDIT: It happened again. I killed a pawn with Justice with a piece that would have had moves left.

Also, the game gets increasingly more sluggish the further you progress.

It's a nice game idea but I'd like some kind of a goal like in Coup Ahoo. Something to work towards. I think some mechanism which made you lose pieces randomly (for example sacrifice events could pick a random piece) would be nice because once you get 9 queens the game offers no challenge whatsoever.

The game kind of breaks at height 58 or so

I figured out how this game works:

No gamepads or any other input devices than a mouse and a keyboard, both via bluetooth.

I've experienced this double input from a keypress for some time. Usually it does a double move but so that I can land on the same cell as an enemy. That has been harmless until now I was trying to escape a certain death. I pressed b to move sideways, died, and the double input bug pressed b for death dialog creating a ghost. Now the bug caused harm to other players since I did not intend to leave a ghost behind.

I'm on Windows 11 using Firefox (142.0.1 64-bit) and a bluetooth keyboard if that matters. I haven't noticed this double input in other apps/games.

Never mind, I wasn't aware it's already in the game as a tip (or should I say "fip")

I managed to reproduce this! I had a crew member in the boat when I exchanged. The new guy is floating.

EDIT: This also happened when I found a crewmate from an abandoned ship and hired them.

I found this bug. Encountering a genie, I went to cabin to check the log book and accidentally selected the first letter. I managed to reproduce this as seen in the image.

Another thing, it makes sense to not show the encounter message in the cabin (due to the bug mentioned I managed to see it anyhow) but I'd expect to see it when exiting the cabin. The genie's encounter message was shown when I selected a letter.

You can press CTRL to toggle auto play on/off. This, however, does not affect the auto play option in the settings. Pressing M changes the sound options in the settings so the thing with CTRL might be a bug.

I found the key binding by accident. It would be great to tell the controls somewhere. Maybe they could be discovered and then appear in the log book.

I scored 1450.

Area gives 10 points per tile and a full row or col (14-X) 50 points, or that's what I figured.

It took me several runs to figure out how the game works. After that it required a lucky starting position to clear the cave. I got a score of 400.

The game got stuck here. I had beaten the 13 ships and kept going on until it got stuck here.

I got turned into a frog and did 666 damage on this poor ship. I have no clue why these things happened

Won the game without losing to a single opponent on the first try; so not that difficult.

I used Reflection, daggers and a few wands to instant kill almost all enemies. Had to sacrifice and sell extra cards to keep my deck effective.

Finished the game with following stats:

Actually, strategy is more important than good stats
