Cadet-Captain Mike Name: Jolly Mon
Card: PotC #005 (Rare)
Points: 1
Faction: Pirates

Masts: 1
Cargo: 1
Moves: S+S
Guns : 4S
Hit %: 33 (S), 0 (L)
Ability: This ship’s base move becomes S when she reaches her cargo limit.

The Jolly Mon (whose name comes from a children's book by Jimmy Buffett) looks pretty close to useless. One cargo means she can't carry much, and if she carries anything at all, she'll be drop-dead slow with no room for a Helmsman to assist. Her point cost of 1 means she can't carry any crew except an Explorer or Oarsman, which are both pointless if there's no room for anything else on board.

Ahhh, but there's the rub. Who ever heard of a ship that costs the same as an Oarsman? If she goes out and brings back any treasure at all, she's paid for herself, probably several times over. She's no fighter and she's no boarder; she's a lowball bottom-feeder of a gold ship. And for one lousy point, you get a lot more than you pay for. Only the Divers event can bring in more treasure for such a low cost.

Gold ship rating: 2.0 / 5
Gunship rating: 1.5 / 5
Boarding ship rating: 1.7 / 5
Overall value: 5.0 / 5
