When I first stumbled across the Kickstarter for Ahoy, an upcoming indie pirate jaunt going all in on historical accuracy, I remember thinking, ‘this looks incredibly cool yet also incredibly me in a way that might not be globally appealing.’
See, I’ve always been big on pirates, and I’m even bigger on maritime history, with some of my all-time favorite books being real-life accounts of nautical survival like The Wager, Endurance, and In the Kingdom of Ice. It’s that very intersection of passions that Ahoy lies at anchor, and in hindsight I was ignorant to think I’d be among only a few to be absolutely psyched about it.
Capstan Games launched Ahoy’s Kickstarter a month ago, it was fully funded in just 21 hours, and at the time of writing, it has more than 5,000 backers and over $750,000 in pledged funds. The campaign is officially ended, but you can still pledge money for rewards.
