>>9713868I didn't have any of these pirate sets growing up either, but I actually like the green rock raised baseplate better! I only had a single printed 16x16 island.
I always got space and underwater stuff as far as raised baseplates go, pirates was just *slightly* before my childhood time, so now that I'm older I'm trying to flesh out my collection (I always pined after sets that were a few years older than what was available based on the catalogues I got from an older sibling).
The green rock version only came in the pirate base set, but the grey rocks came on both the imperial trading post and the el dorado fortress.
