How to Discover if you have Scurvy:

MOSTLY C'S: You are a frustrated pirate who has spent too much time on dry land.

CURE: Get to sea with haste.

MOSTLY B'S: You are a starving pirate who has run out of clean clothes.

CURE: Make some filling ship's biscuits and eat them while soaking in the bathtub.

ENTIRELY A'S: You are a sickly pirate, and probably have scurvy. (NB If you develop these symptoms while on land, put on your sea boots and get to the doc quick.)

CURE: Stop at the next port for some oranges and green beans. Indulge.

I’m sorry to say that I think I’ve lost your game. I can’t find it anywhere. It must have got lost in the move up here. Very sorry about this.

What do you want me to do about this lack of game? Do you want me to send you a game that I’ve got that you may like to replace it, send you the money to get a new one or try and track Blood and Iron down in a shop and send it to you?

Sorry again.

This is Not Good At All. I can't remember ever having seen it in the shops (including second hand), and it didn't seem to turn up at all looking on ebay. I get the feeling it is pretty rare these days. If you can find it, I will be willing to pay up to £20 to have it again - the game itself has great sentimental value, and is good fun to play with other people.

I am sorry again for this. I'll have another search around my flat. It MUST be in there somwhere. If not I'll have a search around the shops and see if I can order it.
