I M Einstein Flying Dutchman

The flying dutchman is the link to the mighty Davy Jones. You may use Davy Jones, but it is hard to make a 2 ship fleet with it.

Cannons: 2L, 2L, 2L, 2L, 2L - Perfect! The cannons cannot be better!

5/5

Cargo: 4 - average for a warship. It will get you the crew you need.

3.5/5

Speed: S - The worst speed possible add a helmsman and/or another turn crew.

1/5

Effect: Broadsides Attack- with low cannons, it will be used. Can make most ships derilict in one shot.

4.5/5

Points: 17 - It is about average, because the cannons are perfect, and the effect is very good. You NEED a helmsman so the point cost jumps to 19 already.

3.5/5

Overall- 4/5 - A great warship. If it had an S+S move and 1 more cargo space, it would be perfect.

Crew to use: Davy Jones, Helmsman, Captain.

Pirates of Davy Jone’s Curse - #001 Flying Dutchman

Name:  Flying Dutchman

Set: PODJC

Card #: 001

Rarity: Rare

Type: Ship

Cost: 17 Points

Masts: 5

Cannons: 2L, 2L, 2L, 2L, 2L

Cargo: 4

Movement: 1S

Faction: Cursed

 

Ability: Broadsides

 

Flavor Text: Sorry, don’t have it

 

As a new faction, the Cursed are going to see some play, until players realize that they’re just another one-set faction (i.e. Jade Rebellion and Barbary Corsairs).  Then either die-hard factionites will continue to play them, and no one else will.

 

This ship has a lot more to offer though, sure, she’s not very fast, but she’s got nasty cannons, that are almost GUARANTEED to hit on a broadsides.  Throw a helmsman/captain combo on her and she’s a pretty decent main gunship. 

 

In sealed she’d be awfully slow, but deadly.

 

Wild’ Will’s Patented EBAY Auction Review 6-6-06

# Closed Auctions: 3

High Sale Amount: $30.57

Low Sale Amount: $4.99

Average Sale Amount: $13.85

Average EBAY Store Amount: $7.00

 

She’s probably the best Cursed ship out there thus far (at least until Guichuan is shipped), so she’ll be in demand.  That $30 auction is really skewing the pricing though, I’d say the high end of about $6-8 is more likely to be found.

 

My Ratings

Playability 4 of 5

Collectability 4 of 5

 

Next time – Davy Jones Crew

Redsled Flying Dutchman

This boat at 17 points may be a little underpriced. The only drawback here is the S movement – but that is easily countered by a helmsman. With Davy Jones on board you could get SSS out of this boat making it one of the swiftest battlewagons on the open ocean. With five L cannons shooting from 2 this not a treasure hunter. Outfit this boat for war; add divers as an event and go blow something up!
