Cadet-Captain Mike Name: Kalmar
Card: FN #215 (Limited Edition)
Points: 18
Faction: Vikings

Cargo: 5 (rating: 3.5 / 5)
Moves: S (rating: 1 / 5)
Guns : 2S,2S,2S x2 (rating: 4 / 5)
Hit %: 200 (S), 0 (L)
Keyword: Longship
Ability: This ship may dock at an enemy home island and load up to two treasures. If able, she must leave on your next turn.

If you've read many of my reviews, you'll know that I don't like longships. They're slow, overpriced, and their double cannons don't get many shots because they have too few masts to withstand much damage.
The Kalmar is a good-looking but typical example of the breed.

She'll make a crushing fighter if she can get the first shot off, but with S speed, what are the chances of that happening? Her low speed also renders her special ability useless, and don't even think of using her for gold -- not only is she too slow, she's too expensive as well.
Compare her to a few ships of similar cost, like HMS Titan (17 pts) or USS Enterprise (18 pts), and it's clear you aren't getting much for your money with this one.

Gold ship rating: 1 / 5
Gunship rating: 2.4 / 5
Boarding ship rating: 2.3 / 5
Overall rating: 2.5 / 5
