I'm making this review short, and I'm dedicating it to Cadet-Captain Mike. Mike was, in my opinion, the best reviewer, and yet still people (including myself) criticized his reviews and possibly even pushed him off Pojo for good. So these upcoming reviews are in Mike's honor. I'm going to try to rate this ship similar to how Mike would have rated her.

Weasel

The Weasel is possibly the slowest, most useless one master I have ever seen. She has sub par cannons, a measly 4S. Good luck hitting with 5s and 6s. Her ability and cargo go well together, considering the Weasel is supposedly a treasure runner. 3 cargo and an ability that lets you load a treasure from an enemy home island are both adequate stats, but how are you supposed to do this when Weasel moves a S? So basically, you can attempt to put a helmsman on her, but then you'll have a 10 point one master that moves S+S and has 2 cargo. For the exact same price, you could have Darkhawk II with 8 cargo. I can't see any use for this piece of garbage.

She gets an atrocious 1/5.
RATING: 1/5
BAILEY
Weasel (Pirate, 8 points)
Masts: 1
Cargo: 3
Move: S
Cannon: S4
Ability: This ship may dock at an enemy island and load one treasure. If able, she must leave on your next turn.
 
   This ship is about as bad as they get. It has a bad cannon, horrible move, useless ability, and a fairly decent cargo. The only way i could see to use this ship is to give it a helmsman and pretend to attack the home island. But then it's ten points. Sure, you could try it without the crew, but even if you succeeded in getting to the home island, you wouldn't make it back; you'd just be hunted down again.
   What can I say? This ship goes in a tier with Maman Brigitte and Le Solitaire. I can find no possible way to use this ship effectively; it's rating is the lowest of the low. For one day I'm using CC-Mikes structure for this ship, just to show how bad it is.
 
Gun Rating: 1/5
Gold Rating: 1.5/5
Boarding Rating: 1/5
 
OVERALL RATING: 1/5
Vladsimpaler Hey everyone, we're beginning RotF "Slowest of the Slow" week. This might take a while, because there are a lot of slow ships. But first, we start off with the Weasel.

Weasel, 8 points, Pirate
Masts: 1
Cargo: 3
Speed: S
Cannon: 4S
Ability: This ship can dock at an enemy home island and load one treasure. If able, she must leave on your next turn.
Flavor Text: Captain Watson takes great pride in the fact that his ship can "weasel" in and out of port without anyone noticing.

It seems that the slow ships always have the more ironic flavor text.
Why? I don't know, they just do. See my review on HMS Stingray.
Anyway, onto the ship.

The first question you ask is, why? Why do they give ships HI raiding abilities when they can't even FLIPPING RAID A HOME ISLAND IN THE FIRST PLACE?!

The Weasel is probably one of the worst ships in the game, if not one of the worst in this set. It can't treasure run out of a wet paper bag; it can't shoot for its life. At least it has 3 cargo. Although, don't use this ship. Please, don't.

If you're playing a fun game with this ship, at least the opponent might joke around and let you get a treasure. Then you might feel kind of good, until he comes up with his La Repulsa and shoots it to kingdom come.
This ship is an embarrassment to HI raiders everywhere.

You know, HI raiders have always gotten the shaft, and I can literally count with my hands how many playable HI raiders there are. This is pathetic.
The Weasel gets a generous 1/5.
