The Raise the Black Kickstarter will be wrapping up in a few days and we wanted to celebrate by giving away a 6th Rate Frigate! This beautiful ship closely represents the Queen Anne’s Revenge, Blackbeard’s famous Frigate that he used as his flagship during 1717-1718. The fast Sloop found in Raise the Black is ideal for small raids and limited engagements, but if you really want to tackle the Spanish treasure galleons, you might need something bigger! Blackbeard needs his flagship!
We were planning on giving away one 6th Rate Frigate during the Raise the Black Kickstarter and now Firelock has agreed to donate another to give away! Two free Frigates up for grabs! It seems a majority of Blood & Plunder players live in the United States but we know there are players all over the world so we’re going to split this giveaway into a US and a World giveaway (this is not an attempt to show national favoritism but to increase the chances of a winner outside the US).
Queen Anne Revenge Giveaway Entry Details
All you need to do to enter this giveaway is comment either directly on this blog or on the post sharing this article on the Blood and Plunder – Buccaneering Across the Spanish Main official Facebook page. We need two pieces of information in your comment:
- Tell us what country you’re from
- Tell us what excites you most in this Kickstarter. Blackbeard? The new Sloop? The new Army factions? Pirates pirates pirates? What really catches your eye here? Something brief is perfect.-
Here’s an example of a valid entry:
I’m from England and I’m most looking forward to playing Black Caesar and his personal pirate faction. Raise the Black!
The last thing you need to do is check your messages after the drawing concludes (at the end of the Kickstarter campaign). We’ve had some trouble contacting giveaway winners in the past. If you comment on here on the blog, check back after the campaign is done because we will reply to your comment here if you win.
Now lets take a look at this amazing ship! It’s huge! This ship is a finely detailed model and its size is truly impressive on the table. It has four decks, can hold up to 26 cannons, 8 swivel guns and 96 men and it can move through the water as fast as anything in the game! You can upgrade it with a ship’s wheel, representing some of the 18th century advances in ship technology which makes it easier to handle when making difficult maneuvers.
“Rumor” has it that there will be special rules in Raise the Black for a modified 6th Rate for Blackbeard. Rules for Queen Anne’s Revenge may include ways to move up to 6″ per move! You need this ship.
I’ve painted a 6th Rate Frigate up for my Spanish Navy but I think I’ll be buying another when I can and painting it up dark and threatening to use a the Queen Anne’s Revenge! Next October Blackbeard will be commanding his own Queen Anne’s Revenge on my gaming table. With any luck, you’ll win one of these ships for your gaming table as well!

Australian/Convict Colonist here and I am looking forward to Raise the Black as it allows me to enter the game with all plastic, ripe for customisation. Bring on Oct 2021 and its bountiful haul!
I’m in the USA, I’m mostly interested in the new factions and a time period I am more familiar with.

I’m from the Netherlands and I love seeing all of the famous pirates from treasure island in the lineup.
I’m from the USA and looking forward to running wild with Blackbeard!
Hello,
I’m from france, and I can’t wait to pillage under the black flag, to guide a bunch of ragtag sailors or a native warband over the seas, as my first historical game. Plus your minis are freaking awesome, which is another argument.
Hiya, John from England. I’m a new player so I’m really looking forward to the two player set to jump into the game. I’ve even convinced my wife to give it a go!
I’m in California, USA. My fiance and I are looking forward to getting our Kickstarter sloops and learning to play Blood and Plunder! I love painting minis for DnD and the Tartana I just got will fit right into the game. The quality of this model is amazing, really fun to build and paint.
Hi, Bernard from the Netherlands here. I really like the new natives. I’ll want to catch a 6th grade with a couple of canoed

Cheers
Hi all, Jared from Australia here. I am particularly excited for the plastic soldiers and militia. Recently got fascinated by Wooded Rogers so rules for him and plastics to make up his force is very appealing.
Hello from Poland!
Excited because it’s my first Kickstarter and can’t wait to raid and plunder some innocent people. And I love sailing, I do that myself but on smaller boats.
I’m from the United States and I’m most looking forward to playing Maynard and taking it too Blackbeard!
Check this! I’m French but was born in Spain and currently living in Germany 😀 (I would say I’m from Spain to simplify)! What excites me the most is the two players starter with 2 ships!! It’s the perfect way to get my mate into the game!
I’m from England and I’m most looking forward to expanding on the current miniature range with the plastics to get a versatile force. Raise the Black!
Hi from Poland!
After learning how to play I want reeneact some scenes from Black Sails and pillage some innocent people! Plus I used to sail and love almost everything that has sailing ships in it.
In th UK. This is the perfect starting point for me to start gaming this period. Been interested ever since playing the Sid Meiers game but never been drawn in by any game until now.
I am from Northern Ireland, and I am really looking forward to building the hard plastic sloops!
I’m from the US and I’m super excited for Calico Jack and Anne Bonney. My fiancé and i have taken to calling each other that as nicknames.
Hi, from UK. Looking forward to plastic figures, that will be easier to customise and to add personal flavour to.
I’m from the Netherlands. My native forces could really use something to assault, also, it seems like a awsome model to paintup.
ND, USA, Im most excited for the customization of the new unit boxes. And of course getting Edward Teach.
Hi,
I’m Alex from Romania. I’m excited about Blackbeard and the evolution of one of my favorite table top games into a new period of the piracy age, but my secret heartfelt focus on this new KS campaign is on the American natives. I can’t wait for the B&P game to develop in this direction. The vibe from the Last of the Mohicans era is totally irresistible to me. I’ll save Uncas even if I have to kill Magua with my barehands.
The 6th rate is the only ship missing from my fleet. I also hope to see a new model for canoes in North American style.
USA here and I’m excited to get started with the game because of the kickstarter. I’ve not played, have been thinking about it for a while, and this pirate themed kickstarter is a good excuse to get into this game
I’m from Canada. Really excited to see Blackbeard and Roberts take to the high seas again!
Hi, I’m Jordi from Spain. For me the must pick of this KS are the new multi-pose plastic minis, that packed together with the 2 players new box (with 2 ships!) makes the perfect deal. Hope to keep seeing more and more plastic modular kits in the future 🙂
New Jersey, USA, love the new models and I’m dying to dive deep into this game. Creating special scenarios and a campaign system with friends. One is a frigate surrounded by sloops. Or a pirates daring attack on a fortified port! Blackbeard is badass but Bart Robert’s will prob. Lead my armada.
Australia. Really love that the pirates get a good showing Arrrrrr 🏴☠️ Love the ships that are on here that I can use for inspiration
I am from England. I have always been fascinated with age of sail and especially the golden age of pirates. Black beard verses Maynard is the iconic sea battle to recreate. Also really pleased to get plastic figures, sailors in particular.
Delaney here, a female Pyrate lover from the United States. Being able to play the last fight of Anne and Mary as The coward Calico Jack hide below deck to save his dogged neck from the noose. And we’ll… More Pyrates (the old way of spelling it)
Greetings from the landlocked state of Utah in the USA! I’m most excited for the use of plastics. As much as I love the metal/resin currently in use, plastics will offer lots of customizability and also lighter materials.
I am from the United States. I am looking forward to playing as the pirates that have captured my curiosity and imagination from my youth onward.
I’m in the US, and I’m looking forward to the pirate faction.
Shout out from the U.S.!
I can’t wait to conquer the Spanish Main in my fearsome Bermuda Sloop. I’ll be armed to the teeth.
USA
I am excited for the plastic kit expanding interest in the game to new players.
I’m from the US! I’ve always wanted to get into Blood and Plunder, because I’ve always been in love with the Age of Sails, but have never had the funds or means to do so. I’ve backend this Kickstarter at the new player level, and almost teared up in excitement doing so. Honestly, I can’t say what I’m most excited for, be it painting and customizing the ships, working on the sailors, or duking it out with my friends over and from the decks of the ships. Raise the black flag! Let there be cannon smoke!
I’m from Canada, and I am super excited for plastic models. Plastic models, for me would be great, I find plastic is easier to paint on then on metal.
I’m from Maryland, USA, and I love all the pirates! I am also excited about the two ships and plastic pirates and sailors that will come next year! Cheers, Mates!
I’m from the United States. I’m all about the pirates and moving the game into the golden age. We’ve needed good customizable plastic pirates for a long time.
