Can someone identify this plastic card cut-out sailing ship, please. What company produces it?
It's about three inches long and 3 inches high (top of sails). I think it came in a flat pack of cards and forms part of a game with cut out islands. Thanks. |

it's made by wizzkids for Pirates of the Spanish Main (or one of it's spin offs) they were sold in packs of plastic cards contating 2 ships, an island, gold counters and a specialist crew card plus the rules. the stats for the ship are on the card from which the parts are pushed out of. the masts are removed as the ship takes damage, the dice on the masts represent firepower, which is reduced as masts are lost. here are examples on ebay auction |

A very clever game that got too complicated. I still have a box full of these little beauties. |

Pirates of the Proper Noun could never quite decide of it was a tactical game or an abstract strategic game. |

Wizkids produced them a few years back they are good cheap ships have loads at home still in packs stocked up when i could on them just a little tip try blacking out the white edges with a indelible pen or a coloured permanent marker the same colour as the ship they look superb then Tom H |

I have literally hundreds of these, if anyone is interested in doing swaps for 28mm Modern, pulp, or WWII |
