It's supposed to be a reprint with streamlined rules. The old edition was maybe a little more simulation than game, although it has its ups.
And if Richard Berg rules are ever streamlined, a masterpiece is in the making

Probably yes.

Richard Berg has stated that he's redone the game from the ground up, so the gameplay will be nothing like the original. I'd heard enough good things about it to preorder it many moons ago.

However, this was during my peak dating years, where I was running around like Wiley E. Coyote trying to get with the ladies, only I was sometimes successful. So his game sat at my place for a couple of years until a certain ex-girlfriend with a meth problem burglarized my place.
No, she didn't steal Blackbeard.
But the fact that my place got burglarized motivated my friend to reclaim his game and learn the rules himself. Less than a year later, we finally sat down to play a 3-player game of Blackbeard. And I remember nothing. Ok, technically, I remember that the game seemed long, with too much downtime and not enough action. And I remember that his roommate kept playing the same new CD over and over again. But I don't remember Blackbeard being the great game that people say it is.

I've always wondered if Richard was saying that one tongue-in-cheek, but from what pirate research I've done over the years, the reality was that a pirate had a life of boring monotony while waiting for a ship to come into their sights.

A short skimming of the rules, and I'm seriously impressed.

You can still order it for the P500 price for a few more days.
