One of my favorite games out there, up there with Pandemic and Arkham Horror. Excellent Big Box game. It is a longer game, but if you are prepared for that, its not a detractor. Also, I always viewed the Merchant route as the timer, and Marauder route as the unknown. If people aren't aggressive enough with the pirate plan then the more cautious merchants will win. This typically means near the end of the game you see more adventurous and more desperate moves by the marauders resulting in increased fun for all. They win spectacularly or they fall flat on their faces!
A WONDERFUL game, and definitely worth $40 (or even better $35). Debating whether to face my wife's wrath spending money on ANOTHER board game to pick this up at this price...
