Cadet-Captain Mike Name: Black Pearl
Card: PotC #025 (Uncommon)
Points: 17
Faction: Pirates

Masts: 4
Cargo: 4
Moves: L
Guns : 3L, 2L, 2L, 3L
Hit %: 233 (S), 233 (L)
Ability: If this ship has a captain crew, she gets +1 to her cannon rolls and +S to her base move.

Here she is! The ship that Jack Sp - I'm sorry, Captain Jack Sparrow would almost die for. There are three Black Pearls in PotC - the cursed one, the battle-damaged one that we reviewed a few weeks ago, and this one. This is the best of the bunch.

Her cannons are good; her ability is a new one, and it's very good. The disappointments are that she isn't linked to Jack Sparrow, and she isn't the fastest thing on the sea. Adding a Captain would make her pretty quick as well as quite dangerous, but you'd also have to add Cotton or some other Helmsman crew if you wanted to catch HMS Interceptor. She shares HMS Endeavour's weakness against ships that ignore L cannons.

If you put a Captain on her, you've spent 20 points on a very fast, very effective four-masted gunship. If she takes a hit from a ship that kills a crew, you've lost both your cannon bonus and your speed. That makes her somewhat vulnerable. Aside from that, she's a fine fighting ship.

Gold ship rating: 2.5 / 5
Gunship rating: 3.9 / 5
Boarding ship rating: 3.1 / 5
Overall value: 3.2 / 5
