Name:    Wicked Kareen (Barbary Corsairs)

Card:    BC #011 (Common)

Points:  10

Masts: 3

Cargo: 4

Moves: S+L

Guns : 2S,3S,4S

Hit %: 150 (S), 0 (L)

Ability: Galley. This ship gets +1 to her cannon rolls and boarding rolls against American ships.

This dark-looking Corsair three-master has good speed and cargo, so she can be a gold ship (but the Corsairs have similar ships for fewer points). She has reasonable cannons, so she can be a fighter (and the Corsairs don't have anything better for ten points). But if you suspect you'll be facing the Stars and Stripes, then her hit percentage jumps to 200%, and now you're in "above average" territory.

A Captain is all the crew she needs. Most of the Corsair named crew can find useful work on board her, but they aren't needed, and none truly excel on her, with the possible exception of Wesley (Captain and +1 on boarding). The Wicked Kareen should be an opportunist, shooting when she can, boarding when she gets a chance, and cleaning out a wild island with her unused cargo spaces if she's too far from the action.

An L-range cannon would have been a nice addition, but you can't have everything. This is a good ship for a below-average price, and should be an active part of any Corsair fleet.
