Had a great game last night with two new players and two veterans!
It was a slow start as I digested some delicious Goat Hill pizza and poorly explained the game to the newbies. Eventually we got through the first round. The early game heated up as Ronnie obtained the Grog and Serum in the first or second round. She spent a good chunk of the game fighting back and forth for it, before successfully burying it.
I trudged slowly up the infamy ladder while Rich skyrocketed, completing quests and grabbing and burying treasure.
David, after vowing to win the game, started aggressive, but he ended up more cautious after being caught in spots not advantageous to foolhardy play.

The end of the game was awesome and came suddenly, after a protracted battle for first between myself, Ronnie, and Rich. Ronnie seemed guaranteed victory when she stole 4 infamy worth of Treasure from me, and completed a quest to steal and bury Doubloons.
However, at the start of the next round, David chose Mathijs to go first. Mathijs boarded Ronnie's ship and stole her Treasure Chest. Having also just obtained a Treasure Map, he went to Ronnie's stash, and rather than spending his Map, randomly dug for Treasure. He succeeded, getting one of Ronnie's buried cards, ending his turn now with 2 Treasure cards and the Map.
I was up next, and Mathijs had spent all but one of his Action cards. I boarded his ship with Swords, took all of his Treasure and the Treasure Map, and used the map to dig up Ronnie's Grog and Serum! I was now carrying 3 Cargo, which completed the final quest, making this the last round! I was in the lead with 15 Infamy, but Ronnie, David, and Rich had yet to go. I held my position and my remaining 5 cards, too near everyone.
Ronnie had barely any cards after trying to fend off Mathijs's boarding, so she went and dug for treasure. She succeeded and suddenly had a Treasure Chest from Rich, giving her a close score of 13.
David was unsure of what to do so late in the game, and was convinced by Rich that the only action was to help dethrone me. He attacked me with Swords, forcing me to flee with Sails. I sailed a little ways away, now a distance from Rich. David then turned and shot at Rich. Rich conceded the damage and then sailed toward me. He attacked with all the Swords he had, and successfully took all of my Treasure, taking the lead as the very last moment of the game.
