Pirates of Davy Jones’ Curse - #049 HMS Gargantuan

Name:  HMS Gargantuan

Set: PODJC

Card #: 049

Rarity: Rare

Type: Ship

Cost: 16 Points

Masts: 5

Cannons: 4L, 3L 3L,3L, 4L

Cargo: 3

Movement: 1S+1S

Faction: English

 

Ability: After this ship resolves a shoot action, she may move as a free action.

 

Flavor Text: The ultimate English warship, HMS Gargantuan bears the scars of a hundred engagements, and each of her sailors has spilled more blood alone than entire crews of other ships.

 

Ultimate English Warship?  I don’t know where that flavor text comes from, because it certainly isn’t true.  How can she be a war ship when she doesn’t even have decent guns?  Yes, she’s nicely costed, and having a built in reverse captain is nice for hit and run attacks, but she needs some faction haters on board to have those guns do much of anything.  The three cargo doesn’t help either.

 

Wild’ Will’s Patented EBAY Auction Review 7-16-06

# Closed Auctions: 6

Low Sale Amount: $1.00

High Sale Amount: $3.00

Average Sale Amount: 1.72

Average EBAY Store Amount: $5.52

 

Any time you can get yourself a five masted rare for under $2 you’re doing pretty good.   Unfortunately there aren’t any ongoing auctions for this ship, you’ll have to pay the $3-8 at an Ebay store or even higher elsewhere.
