Darts in POTCO UK

A quote from the new POTCO UK site:

I can only hope that this means they will be adding darts to the US version, too!

That'd be key nish.

[Jade McKidd]

I totally agree that it would be great if they added darts to this game!

[Ghostcannon]

Sooner or later would have Pirates as Ninjas. (we got the sword, we got the dagger, now we need the darts ....I hope so. What about an Archer?

[whiskey]

Not adding darts as an attack weapon, adding darts as a game in the taverns!

[davy redflint]

lol we be pirates not ninjas.................darts as a tavern game would be nice

[MacIronhawk]

The UK POTCO isn't currently up and running.
Darts may be added but they aren't in either of the game(s) yet.
Game(s) meaning POTCO US and POTCO UK.

I am sorry, I should have mentioned that the UK version has yet to be released.

I was just snooping on the features page from that website, and darts caught my attention!

[anndreeuhh]

Either way it sounds pretty cool. Can't wait til they put it in the game.

Looking at the POTCO UK webpage, there look to be either some improvements to both the US and UK version, or some additions to the UK only game.

• Amass your wealth: Hunt for buried treasure such as gold, gems and mysterious artifacts. Trade these discoveries with other pirates.
  

So the first item is ship customization. If they mean more than just a custom name, could this include sail colors, hull colors or perhaps even gun placement and power?

The second bullet mentions secret maps to locate treasure. If this is just more than the Boss Battle map, then perhaps there will be a treasure hunt feature to be added to the game? Also in the second point, it mentions traps, ambushes, and double crossing pirates. I do not think we have this sort of action in the current POTCO release, but interpretations could vary widely.

The third point mentions using voodoo to cheat in games. I wonder if this will allow us to cheat the card deck more than just swapping cards? It also mentions unique curses. I wonder if we will be able to create custom hexes with varying power, range or duration, or if they are just referring to the variation in power and duration from skill point assignment?

The fourth point mentions a darts mini-game! Fantastic!

The last point could refer to wealth trading, or it could just be the trading of the knowledge of wealth. I hope for the former.

Some things are the same some aren't. Like ship customization, darts and trading.

I saw the trailer,and it seems the crabs,if you look carefully,are bright red,insread of our greenish-brownish crabs,and also near the end of the trailor,when it was zooming out of a battle(a lot of skeletons and ships),there was a ship with red and yellow sails and a yellowish hull,could this be the Spanish?Also it says

These are just things to catch people's eyes so they play the game.
All of these things are things that would be a great addition to the game and probably will be added into the game.
Now lets all sit back, watch, and wait...
