What is the difference between Matched and Active characters?
A pirate assembled from three parts with the same title is considered Matched. In the case of cards with a Crewman title the white numbers at the bottom of the row of icons must be the same for the character to be Matched. Matched characters are immune to Skallywaggs. Active characters have rules that come into play when properly built. Major Active characters are built from cards with the same red title and a circled black number 3 at the bottom of their row of icons. Because they require three specific parts they are simultaneously Matched and Active. Minor characters become Active when assembled with two correct cards in combination with any third. The Activating parts will have the same red title and a circled black number 2 at the bottom of their row of icons. Because they require only two specific parts for their rules to come into play it is possible for them to be Active but not Matched. If that is the case the third, unmatched, card would be vulnerable to Skallywaggs. Build yo
