League Season 2 Finale! 7/16 @ Max's Fanno Creek
After 12 long weeks, we're finally at the finale for Season 2 of the PDXYAR 'Pirates of the Cursed Seas' league! This season has been an epic one, with enough plundering, skullduggery and back-stabbing to last the crew fer at least another month... that is, until the Portland Pirate Festival!
Read on fer all the details and scenario information on the finale. As always, non-League players are welcome to show up and learn to play. We'll have 'Pirates of the Cursed Seas' packs for sale (all proceeds going to the PDXYAR Epic Scale Fleet fund) and there will be plenty of Privateers on-hand to teach ye how to play.
Plan on hanging out after the game ends for our awards ceremony and presentation of the PDXYAR League trophy to this season's overall winner. Plus, there will a bit of business discussed regarding our involvement with this year's Portland Pirate Festival.
Huzzah!
