Top 10 of 2008

#10 Navigator

It's the first of the 10 Top Pirate Cards of 2008! Us reviewers submitted our person Top Ten lists to Pojo to make an overall list. We're reviewing all ten cards, starting with the bottom.

First up is the one of the new and few generic crew of the Savage Shores set. He goes hand-in-hand with a new type of terrain called "Trade Current."

Here's the Trade Current description in case you don't own one: "Trade current is friendly to the player who placed it. Once per turn when a friendly ship moves over or begins her turn touching a friendly trade current, she gets +S to her base move."

And the Navigator's power is: "When this ship is given a move action, instead of moving her you may roll a d6. On a result of 3-6, put a trade current within S of any friendly ship."

So the Navigator gives you a 2-in-3 (66%) chance to lay down a permanent spot where all of your ships get a +S to their movement.

I find this to be of limited usefulness, though others may disagree. If you're playing a big game, maybe getting +S in a strategic spot will help in the long run, but I can't see it helping much in a short game, especially if you end up placing it somewhere out of the way. I'd rather have a helmsman.

Give this guy a shot though if you want. He only costs 2 points.

I give the Navigator a 2/5.
Vlad Vlad ranked this at #4 for 2008
