Original Crew Cards
Thes are the original hand drawn cards for charisma (then called charismatic) cards and the pie cards. All the rest of the cards were stick figure drawings. Note that the charisma card had an A.V. value. This stood for Attractive Value - you know that those piratey items made your captain more attractive to crew members.

This was originally designed as a single deck game.
