Fighting the 10/52(+1) first was good, as 7/16 (2 life/draw) is both the easiest if the deck has been well streamlined, and quite hard if not.
What I could also have done was, at the first pirate, to destroy that unknown Aging card with 0/destroy instead, then destroy the 0/destroy with 2/destroy 😉 That way, less chance for a dud draw on the next shuffle (so saving 2 life, not 1), since overall it seems you had enough destroy-power that far. Or even destroy the 0/destroy earlier at some Red encounter, if the opportunity presented - maybe it didn't.
Also if some (more) 1/focused could be destroyed earlier, without needing extra draws. This late in Pirates it's usually pointless ;-) since it may be -or not- a >20% chance to save a card draw (so, a life, so +5 VP) by drawing something better instead of 1/focused, versus the certain loss of 1 VP at the final count for destroying that little strength.

Never been involved in this- I am too used to:
1) Being shooshed at libraries for being too loud.
2) Having wild swings in RPG's between pretty quiet and extremely loud.
Seems like a poor fit, unless you have a soundproofed room, like the kind people use for practicing musical instruments in...

I've never done this; curious about the pros/cons vs. a game store or someone's home.

I am still admiring your stamina with this game.
I hated it so much - I don't remember anymore, I think I threw it away in the trash bin.

No worries for this, just think we are pretty good as we have 150 tickets gone. I just think it would be cool if it sold out but fine either way. All I do is have a big bucket/box for you to throw them in.
