Darts in POTCO UK

[whiskey]

Looking at the POTCO UK webpage, there look to be either some improvements to both the US and UK version, or some additions to the UK only game.

• Use Voodoo magic: Lear the arcane skills of voodoo magic to heal, travel, cheat in games and cast curses on your enemies. Use items found in the world you explore to craft your own unique curses.
  
• Live the Pirate life: Earn extra loot and build up your notoriety by competing in mini-games such as poker, blackjack and darts.
  
• Amass your wealth: Hunt for buried treasure such as gold, gems and mysterious artifacts. Trade these discoveries with other pirates.
  

So the first item is ship customization. If they mean more than just a custom name, could this include sail colors, hull colors or perhaps even gun placement and power?

The second bullet mentions secret maps to locate treasure. If this is just more than the Boss Battle map, then perhaps there will be a treasure hunt feature to be added to the game? Also in the second point, it mentions traps, ambushes, and double crossing pirates. I do not think we have this sort of action in the current POTCO release, but interpretations could vary widely.

The third point mentions using voodoo to cheat in games. I wonder if this will allow us to cheat the card deck more than just swapping cards? It also mentions unique curses. I wonder if we will be able to create custom hexes with varying power, range or duration, or if they are just referring to the variation in power and duration from skill point assignment?

The fourth point mentions a darts mini-game! Fantastic!

The last point could refer to wealth trading, or it could just be the trading of the knowledge of wealth. I hope for the former.

Some things are the same some aren't. Like ship customization, darts and trading.
